00:00After 11 years, we are hosting the opening ceremony of KKR-RCV.
00:09It is a high profile match.
00:11On one hand, KKR last year's champion team and on the other hand, RCV's Virat Kohli.
00:16It is a different attraction.
00:18Along with that, there is an opening ceremony.
00:20We don't have the details of it yet.
00:22Who all are performing.
00:24Writing and confirmation has not come yet.
00:26But definitely something good will happen in the opening ceremony.
00:30So overall, it will be a beautiful IPL opening day for the cricket fans of Kolkata.
00:40Some names are also being heard.
00:42Have there been suggestions for some names yet?
00:44Which can be used in the opening ceremony for some spectacular performances.
00:50If it happens, it will be good.
00:52It is happening every year.
00:54But till the time we don't get a confirmation letter from VCCI,
00:59it will not be appropriate to take anyone's name in this matter.
01:04VCCI organizes all this.
01:08We will just host.
01:10No discussions have been held.
01:14Can there be a big name?
01:16It always happens.
01:17In any opening in IPL, there is always a big name to perform.
01:23There is a big platform for that too.
01:26Definitely it is a big name.
01:28But IPL is also a big name.
01:30In today's day and age.
01:31So performing in the IPL opening ceremony means
01:34definitely there is a pride for everyone.
01:36Some names are coming which are also being seen in the media.
01:39Arjit Singh, Shraddha Kapoor, Shreya Ghoshal, Barun Dhawan.
01:45See, as far as I know, there has been a time slot of 25 minutes for the opening function.
01:52It is difficult to accommodate so many names in that.
01:56But whatever is there, whatever will be, it will be good.
01:58Can something new be seen in Eden Garden?
02:01The lighting is like this here.
02:02Something new is seen every time.
02:04See, IPL is such a tournament in which the role of CAB is
02:08just prepare the ground, keep the stadium ready for the match.
02:12Otherwise, whatever the lighting is,
02:14like we did such beautiful lighting in the World Cup because it was ours.
02:18In IPL, all this depends on KKR.
02:21So this whole thing is done by those people.
02:24Whatever you have to do to beautify the Indian Gardens,
02:31putting the hoardings, lighting, whatever it is, everything is done by KKR.
02:35If we talk about the ground, how many matches have been played in Eden this time?
02:40See, there are 9 matches total.
02:42Because there is one on 22nd, one on 3rd, one on 6th and so on.
02:46Qualifier 2 is there and the final is also there.
02:49So as soon as 7 plus 2 is done, there are 2 matches, qualifier 2 and final.
02:54So overall 9 matches.
02:56Peaches are ready, sir. How many peaches are there?
02:58Peaches are there.
02:59Taking Eden Gardens' ground, it is a dream ground.
03:04On one hand, because such a ground in which every player who plays good cricket,
03:12everyone wants to bat, bowl and field in Eden Gardens.
03:17I have seen the audience who come to see Eden Gardens.
03:21So this is Eden Gardens.
03:23If we talk about the peaches, how many peaches have been prepared in these 9 matches?
03:28See, 3-4 peaches will be ready.
03:30Because after one match, there is no next match in that wicket.
03:35So by doing this, our 4 peaches are always ready.
03:38This time also 4 peaches are ready.
03:41So if we talk about the team, as you are also a player, where will you support?
03:47KKR or any other team?
03:49See, as an individual, not as a president, obviously I will support KKR.
03:55It is a team from Kolkata and they played so well last year.
03:59This time also it is a very good team.
04:01Honestly, I am telling you.
04:03Parallel team.
04:05I think it is a better team than last year.
04:08Because Quinton Tickock has come.
04:10Varun Chakravorty is a much experienced or much polished bowler.
04:16Ajinkya Rahane has come in the mid-order.
04:19Definitely Shreyas Shahyar's gap will be missed.
04:23But overall it is a very good side.
04:25And if we talk about the other team, where do you think it is a good team?
04:30See, all the teams in IPL are balanced this time.
04:33Last year also it was a balanced team.
04:36All the players are chosen by the board.
04:41And all the players are chosen for the sport.
04:43Not like this.
04:44Whoever needs it, he takes it there.
04:47So as soon as the IPL ends, they start preparing for the next IPL.
04:55So overall they prepared themselves very well.
