We will be inculcating a lot of Gujarati culture and tradition in our act, which will be in sync with the spirit of this year&#39;s IPL. We would also love to give a chance to local talent- musicians and dancers and be a part of our performance crew.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 10th edition of IPL had a perfect start at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday with performance by actress Amy Jackson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was the first in a series of eight opening ceremonies, one in each hosting venue. This is the first time in the IPL&#39;s history that the organisers have decided to provide some glamour quotient before the beginning of the first match in all the venues.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Singer Benny Dayal and actress Kriti Sanon will raise the Bollywood quotient of the opening ceremony in Bengaluru on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m a huge fan of cricket and for my performance I have planned a multi-lingual act which pays tribute to the different regions of India and how crickets unifies the entire nation just like music,&quot; Dayal said.<\/p>\r\n",
