Star-Studded Performances in IPL 2025
IPL 2025 kicked off with a grand opening in Kolkata on March 22, featuring dazzling performances by Bollywood actress Disha Patani, Punjabi rapper Karan Aujla, and famous playback singer Shreya Ghoshal. This time, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium will witness more star power, with Bollywood beauty Sara Ali Khan also set to perform.
Unlike previous IPL seasons, where only the opening match had an official ceremony, this year, every venue will have special performances, making the tournament even more entertaining.
Ananya Panday’s performance will begin at 6:30 PM IST, exactly one hour before the Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders match on March 31 at Wankhede Stadium. The announcement was made on IPL’s official social media handles, creating a buzz among fans.
How Mumbai Indians and KKR Have Performed So Far
Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians haven’t had the best start this season. They have played two matches so far and lost both – first to Chennai Super Kings by 4 wickets and then to Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, by 36 runs.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders also had a rough start, losing their first match to Royal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets. However, they made a strong comeback in their second match, defeating Rajasthan Royals convincingly by 8 wickets.
