This year's Indian Premier League might have lost a bit of its edge following the dismal performances of its star franchises Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, but it is still one of the biggest shows in the world and high on star power.
Matches during the entire league phase this year have been confined to Mumbai - the traditional home of Bollywood - and the adjoining Pune. As a result, many star names have made an appearance at the matches this season.
Bollywood stars like Anushka Sharma, who is also the wife of Royal Challengers Bangalore's Virat Kohli, Suniel Shetty and daughter Athiya have attended matches this season. Also, Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner and renowned actor Juhi Chawla has witnessed the action from the stands.
Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon also dropped by to promote their new movie KGF 2 and also support Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The IPL has always attracted the biggest names from the world of entertainment. In fact, back in 2016, Apple CEO Tim Cook attended a match between Gujarat Lions and Kolkata Knight Riders in Kanpur. As we turn towards the business end of the tournament, expect more celebrities to pop up during the games.
