The IPL 2022 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 29th of May will begin from 8 PM, and not 7:30 PM, because of a grand closing ceremony prior it.
“The start of the IPL final will be slightly pushed back to 8 pm due to a 40-minute closing ceremony preceding it. Due to Covid, this is the first time since 2019 when the BCCI is organising a closing ceremony for the IPL, and it wants to celebrate the occasion in grand fashion,” a source in the BCCI notified.
Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh and music legend AR Rahman will perform in the closing ceremony.
Apparently, to celebrate 75 years of India’s independence, the Board will also organize a show, recording the journey of Indian cricket over the last 7 decades.
A few weeks ago, the BCCI had bid tenders from event management companies for the closing ceremony.
