The light-hearted moments between Shahrukh Khan, Meg Lanning, and other DC players captured the camaraderie among the team. Despite reaching the WPL 2023 final, the Delhi Capitals succumbed to the Mumbai Indians. Meg Lanning, the top run scorer last year, aims to replicate her batting prowess and lead her team to clinch the coveted trophy this season.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan headlines an array of celebrities slated to perform at the ceremony. It features prominent names such as Tiger Shroff, Shahid Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Kartik Aaryan, and Sidharth Malhotra. The inaugural season of the WPL was held in Mumbai, hosting all matches at either DY Patil Stadium or Brabourne Stadium.
Following the highly anticipated MI vs DC clash, the second encounter will witness Royal Challengers Bangalore facing off against the UP Warriors at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday. While the initial 11 matches unfold at the same venue, the latter half of the season, including playoffs, will unfold at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
