Indian Premier League: The most famous cricket league in the world, the Indian Premier League (IPL), is off to a flourishing start. The special effects of the opening ceremony had a magical touch to it. The screen on one’s digital and television platform had a sci-fi look to it. Along with the dance moves of the Bollywood stars and the pounding beats of A.R. Rehman, the extravagant curtain-raiser was the ideal setting for the inaugural match in Chennai.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the reigning champions, playing at home with a new young captain in Ruturaj Gaikwad, won it, in their confident, and now predictable manner, demolishing the star-studded Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). The match had the two present legends of Indian cricket, Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Their presence was the start of the huge number of spectators that the tournament is attracting at all the stadiums.
