The management of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore gifted a jersey to the team of Salaar and the picture has gone viral on social media. Actor Prabhas, who is well known for the 'Bahubali' movies, was also present at the success party of the movie and he posed with the RCB jersey. RCB will be looking to win their maiden IPL title in the upcoming 2024 season of the competition and with stalwarts like Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis among their ranks, they will be quite confident.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is likely to be held in India even as the country goes to elections, according to a BCCI source.
The biggest cricket fest is likely to start on March 22 and the dates of the general election are likely to be announced around the same time, but a top source from BCCI confirmed that the IPL will be played in India.
"There is nothing like that, to shift the tournament outside the country, as the general election will also be at the same time. If any state doesn't want to host the match at that time, with any justified reason, the match could be shifted to another venue," a BCCI source told ANI.
Teams have already fine-tuned their squads after the conclusion of the IPL 2024 auction, which was held in Dubai last month.
The auction saw the record for the most expensive player break twice. Australia star Mitchell Starc became the most expensive player in the history of the tournament as he was bagged by Kolkata Knight Riders for a price tag of Rs24.75 crore.
Along with this the IPL 2024 auction recorded an increase of 57 per cent from the previous auction's viewers.
