Celebrated Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh imitated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain KL Rahul’s customary celebration during the IPL 2022 closing ceremony. Incidentally, Ranveer and AR Rahman were seen performing before the final clash between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Gujarat Titans (GT).
Popular commentator Ravi Shastri kicked off the celebrations by revealing the ‘world’s largest cricket jersey’, standing at a stunning 66*22 meters. Shastri invited Ranveer Singh to the stage who put on back-to-back power-packed dance performances on famous tunes from movies like ‘Band Baja Baarat’ and ‘Ram Leela’.
He tirelessly travelled across the ground, getting the thousands of spectators present on their feet. The stadium was lit with colours of the films, with massive flags of all teams and the league logo interspersed evenly.
Ranveer Singh even did Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) KL Rahul’s signature shut-the-ears celebration on stage and gave a high-five to young RR batter Yashasvi Jaiswal.

AR Rahman and his troupe sang songs celebrating 75 years of Indian independence and the country’s cricketing history. There was a song for every decade of Indian cricket with snippets of heroes from every era playing in the background.
RR get off to a good start after opting to bat first
Opting to bat first, Yashasvi Jaiswal went berserk early in the powerplay. He scored a quickfire 22 off 16 to get Rajasthan Royals off to a flying start before he holed out to Sai Kishore. Sanju Samson joined Jos Buttler in the middle.
Gujarat bowlers bowled a tight line and length and RR found it difficult to find the boundaries. Buttler scored a few crucial runs as the Royals were well placed at 71/2 at the halfway stage.
