The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season has reached its business end with the Gujarat Titans taking on the Rajasthan Royals in the finals of the tournament at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Ahead of the mega-clash, former Indian cricketer, Ravi Shastri hosted the closing ceremony of the tournament.
The fans went gaga when Ravi Shastri in his beaming voice shouted, “Kemcho, Ahmedabad?” to kickstart the ceremony. It was a 50-minute long ceremony at the world’s biggest cricket ground.
It began with Ravi Shastri announcing that the IPL has created a world record for the biggest T-shirt – an official certificate was presented to the BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and general secretary Jay Shah.

Ravi Shastri’s return to the commentary box has been very well welcomed by the fans. The former Indian cricketer had to a break, as he was the head coach of the Indian senior men’s team. However, as his tenure ended, Shastri made a comeback to the commentary box.
The fans were pleased to see him hosting the closing ceremony and in the English commentary panel for the finals of the Indian Premier League 2022 season.
Let’s take a look at how the fans reacted to Ravi Shastri hosting the closing ceremony of the IPL 2022:
