IPL 2017 opening ceremony highlights from Pune: Riteish Deshmukh and Shalmali kholgade set the stage on fire

IPL 2017 opening ceremony: The second match is in Pune between Rising Pune Supergiants and Mumbai Indians at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium

The Indian Premier League (IPL) has entered in its 10th season and cricket lovers are in all excitement. The first opening ceremony and the match held at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Wednesday were quite enthralling. The first opening ceremony saw the performance of Bollywood actress Amy Jackson. Also, the between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore was quite captivating.

The second match is in Pune between Rising Pune Supergiant and Mumbai Indians at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. The grand event will see Riteish Deshmukh performing live and the IPL 2017 opening ceremony will start at 6.30 pm in Pune before the match.

This time the makers of IPL have come up with an interesting idea where they are organising eight opening ceremonies for eight cities. In all the previous editions have witnessed stars like Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone performing at the grand event, this time it’s the younger lot who have taken over. Amy Jackson has already performed in Hyderabad, Parineeti Chopra, Tiger Shroff, Shraddha Kapoor and Disha Patani will also be seen performing at other locations.
