Farhan kickstarts IPL

Actor Farhan Akhtar will open Star Sports’ Live Broadcast on ‘Cricket Live’, ahead of the opening match of Dream11 IPL 2020.

The nation has been going through tough times due to COVID-19, making this season even more special since it gives a reason for people to come together to watch our very own tournament.

Farhan will set the tone of the tournament by introducing ‘Cricket Live’, before the much-anticipated clash between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. He will be addressing today’s testing times, and how we need to to ride over this crisis.

Speaking on this, Farhan said, “These are trying times and our nation continues to persevere and move forward. With the world picking up pace in the new normal, the announcement of the IPL was a breath of fresh air. I have been looking forward to some sporting action, and Live Indian cricket is back after a long hiatus. There’s much to learn from the journey of a team or an individual in it. To rise after you fall, to learn from ones mistakes and most importantly, to stay grounded and humble in victory. I resonate with this feeling even more after working on my forthcoming film Toofaan in which sport is the backdrop, made on similar ethos. It is important to stay resilient, optimistic and ready to battle all odds for a better tomorrow. Personally, it also is an absolute pleasure to open the maiden show. Looking forward to a grand opening game.”

(Watch the actor on Star Sports’ pre-show Cricket Live from 6 pm onwards on September 19.)
