## **What to expect from the IPL 2023 Opening Ceremony?**

Apart from the exciting performances by Bollywood stars, the ceremony is likely to feature several cultural acts. It will be the first time since 2018 that the IPL opening ceremony will take place, as the ceremony was canceled in 2019 as a tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in the Pulwama attack. Additionally, the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions prevented large gatherings, so the ceremony could not take place during the past two seasons.
