The Cricket Board of India is doing everything possible for the safe conduct of the Women’s T20 League beginning on March 4. Bollywood actresses Kriti Sanon and Kiara Advani are ready to awe spectators worldwide during the opening ceremony of the much-anticipated franchise league. AP Dhillon, a well-known singer, will also perform the Women’s T20 League anthem at the same event.

The Women’s T20 League 2023 opening ceremony is anticipated to occur before the season opener. On March 4 at 7:30 PM IST, Gujarat and Mumbai will play in the inaugural game of the Women’s T20 League. So, it is anticipated that the opening ceremony will begin in the evening, a few hours before the scheduled time of the game. The tournament will be played at Mumbai’s DY Patil Stadium and Brabourne Stadium.

Five franchises will battle it out in the inaugural Women’s T20 League

At the first Women’s T20 League players’ auction, five franchises – Delhi, Gujarat, Mumbai, Bangalore, and UP—spent a lot of money to sign some of the best women cricketers on the domestic and international stages. Smriti Mandhana of India was sold to Bangalore for an incredible INR 3.40 crore, the highest amount paid for any player in the auction. At the same time, Mumbai purchased Team India captain Harmanpreet Kaur at the auction for INR 1.80 crore.

The two international players who received the highest bids, Ashleigh Gardner of Australia and Natalie Sciver of England, were sold to Gujarat and Mumbai, respectively, for INR 3.20 Crore each. Among the headline purchases was Shafali Verma, leader of the India U19 team and champion of the U19 20-20 World Cup, who was sold to the Delhi franchise for INR 2 Crore.

The talented vocalist AP Dhillon, who has a few hit songs like “Brown Munde,” “Excuses,” “Insane,” “Tere Te,” to his credit, will dazzle the crowd.
