The excitement of the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) is gripping Guwahati! As Rajasthan Royals come calling to the Assam capital, a special sports spectacle is in store for locals, delegates of G20 summit, and the cricket lovers at large. Assam Cricket Association (ACA) is doing everything in its capacity to make it a memorable affair for the Northeast region.
On Wednesday, the Rajasthan Royals will take on Punjab Kings in their first debut IPL match in the Northeast. The match is sure to be larger than life with a host of stunning visual displays and grand laser show – a first of its kind in Assam and the entire Northeast! Several folk dances and live bands from the region, performed by local artists, will delight fans before the start of the matches. Some G20 delegates are also likely to attend the match.
The BCCI joint secretary Devajit Saikia conveys that while the match is sure to put the spotlight on cricket, spectators will also be treated to quality entertainment. Despite all the preparations, demands for free passes might keep the stands from being chock-full due to still available tickets on the official booking partner’s website. Saikia thus urges the locals to break away from the conventional mindset of free passes and make a conscious effort in buying tickets to make the IPL match in the Northeast a huge success.
The Rajasthan Royals is an international cricket team and one of the founding members of the IPL. They are owned by Manoj Badale and their team consists of some of the best cricket players from across the country. With the Royals and the Punjab Kings set to face-off, fans are in for a thrilling experience at Guwahati! Assam Cricket Association is doing the needful to make the match a grand, entertaining spectacle for all!
