Siddharth Malhotra’s performance at the WPL opening ceremony is bound to be sensational. I’m confident he will bring his charisma and talent to the stage. I can’t wait to witness his performance! 🎉🎤
In India, even actors perform live 😂, while singers/rappers/dancers are not respected. These Bollywood elites have taken control of everything.

The WPL is set to commence on 23rd February in Bangalore. Matches will be held at only two venues, namely the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore and the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The final will also take place in Delhi.
The tournament follows a double-round robin format with playoffs, meaning each team will face each other twice. In the group stages, each team is expected to play eight matches. The team that finishes at the top of the league standings will secure a direct spot in the finals. Meanwhile, the teams ranking 2nd and 3rd will compete in an eliminator match to determine the other finalist. The Mumbai Indians are the reigning champions, having defeated the Capitals in the 2023 WPL finals.
