When has any opening ceremony not been boring. Opening and closing ceremonies are a complete waste of time.

Like all commentators say ... 'On this occasion'
I'll try and watch it.

 

[Dan C]

Watched the first 5 mins. Impressive lights. But could not handle more.

Will wait for the first game to start.

 

[Heisenborg]

What a relay catch !!!

Rahane from deep mid-wicket moves to his right and takes the catch with a slide, then relays it towards Ravindra as deep backward square leg as he was sliding towards the boundary. Nice presence of mind from the Mumbai Ranji skipper, ends the night for Virat Kohli.

** edit not looking good for RCB - 78/5

What a relay catch !!!

stunning

RCB big trouble. Their bowling attack is ordinary so need their batting to fire.

Isn't this RCBs DNA..

Me too... But Dinesh himself said he expects it's below par.

[biqleadata]

Stubbs has had a good run leading up to the IPL.
