The opening ceremony of the WPL 2024 was a star-studded affair with leading Bollywood actors including Shah Rukh Khan performing in Bengaluru on Friday. The five leading Bollywood superstars represented the five competing franchises and their dance performances left the crowd grooving and some of them couldn’t stop themselves from dancing along with their favorite actors. Kartik Aryan represented Gujarat Giants, Sidharth Malhotra showed his support for Delhi Capitals, Tiger Shroff supported Royal Challengers Bangalore, Varun Dhawan chose UP Warriors and Shahid Kapoor was the last person to represent Mumbai Indians. Were. All of them performed on their superhit songs.

The second edition of the Women’s Premier League, which will begin with a high-profile match between defending champions Mumbai Indians and runners-up Delhi Capitals, will be optimistic about fulfilling its existential objective of giving promising domestic talents a broader platform.

Foreign stars shone in the inaugural edition held in Mumbai, and Indians will hope to grab some of the limelight this year as the tournament takes the shape of a multi-city format and New Delhi is the second host city.

Capitals captain Meg Lanning, who has now retired from international cricket, won the Orange Cap last year for scoring the most runs, while the Purple Cap went to Mumbai’s Hayley Mathews for taking 16 wickets.

Amidst this surge of overseas players, Indian cricketers generally struggled for consistency and impact last year, but now some of the young domestic stars will be eyeing this WPL with real hope.
