Lungi dance

DY Patil Stadium: The fourth edition of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) began with a star-studded opening ceremony at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Friday, with Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Honey Singh adding glitz to the pre-match entertainment.

Harnaaz, the Miss Universe 2021 winner and actor, opened the evening with a monologue celebrating women’s achievements across India, declaring, ‘We are ready’ to set the tone for her performance. Jacqueline followed it up with a high-energy performance of her popular film songs, drawing the attention of a massive crowd of fans with her stage presence and dance moves.

Rapper-singer Honey Singh lit up the venue with a mix of his latest hits and classics, and even began the set by being between MI and RCB captains Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana, who seemed to have been caught off-guard by the move.
