U.S. singer Katy Perry also performed at the star-studded event. Actor Amitabh Bachchan recited a poem on cricket during the opening ceremony. The poem was written especially for the IPL opening ceremony by lyricist Prasoon Joshi.
Percussionists performed at the IPL opening ceremony. 'Colonial Cousins' Hariharan and Leslie Lewis get on with some electrifying performance with the number 'Krishna Begane Baro.'
This season could be make or break for IPL, which has had its share of controversies in the last 12 months. In 2011, the television ratings fell, Kochi Tuskers were expelled after their owners failed to pay the bank guarantee and then Sahara, the owners of Pune Warriors and chief sponsor of the Indian cricket team, threatened to severe its ties with the Indian cricket board in February.
IPL's newly appointed chairman Rajeev Shukla, who took over last year, attributed the dip in last year's TV ratings to "cricket fatigue".
