The 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is generating the most anticipation yet as the T20 spectacle prepares to engulf the cricketing community. While it will be played in the traditional “home and away” format for the first time since 2019, the upcoming season is anticipated to bring the old IPL atmosphere back.
The tournament will officially kick off on March 31 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad with an inaugural ceremony before the curtain-raiser game between the Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings. The opening ceremony will start at 6:00 PM IST, while the game is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM.
Everyone is familiar with the razzmatazz of an IPL opening ceremony, and this year, too, various stars will play at the event to enthrall spectators from all over the world. Actors Rashmika Mandhana and Tamannaah Bhatia will perform at the grand event, while musician Arijit Singh will also make an appearance to serenade the crowd, the authorities announced on their official Twitter feed.
The BCCI cancelled the celebration in 2019 to honor the soldiers slain in the Pulwama tragedy in February 2019, and the pandemic limitations from 2020–2022 prevented such a large gathering. As a result, it will be the first IPL opening ceremony held since 2018.
IPL Opening Ceremony 2023 will take place on Friday, March 31, 2023, before the match between GT and CSK.

Tamannaah Bhatia, Rashmika Mandanna, and Arjit Singh have all been set to perform in the IPL Opening Ceremony in 2023. Although some rumors also claim that Katrina Kaif and Tiger Shroff will make an appearance.
