The first game of WPL will be played between Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians. Check out the photos and videos from opening ceremony below.
The opening ceremony of the inaugural Women’s Premier League (WPL) cricket tournament was held at the D. Y. Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday, just before the first match of the tournament between Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians. The actresses Kiara Advani and Kriti Sanon and the famous singer AP Dhillon set the stage on fire with their electrifying performances at the ceremony.
Kiara Advani, who recently tied the knot with her Shershaah co-star Sidharth Malhotra, started the event with a bang as she grooved to her hit songs including Bijli from Govinda Naam Mera, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 title track, and Rangi Saari from JugJugg Jeeyo.
Then, Kriti Sanon started her act from the dressing room dancing to the women's anthem from Chak De India's Badal Pe Paon and then lit up the stage with her fiery moves on Thumkeshkari from Bhediya and Param Sundari from Mimi.
Finally, the Punjabi singer AP Dhillon, who specially flew down from Los Angeles for his performance, enthralled the audience by singing his chartbuster tracks such as Excuses, Brown Munde, and Insane.
Here are photos and videos from the star-studded ceremony
