Bollywood starlet Shraddha Kapoor is set to sizzle at the Eden Gardens as the city gears up to host its IPL opening ceremony before the start of the match between Kolkata Knights Riders and Kings XI Punjab tomorrow.
The program will be a fusion of Bengal's traditional chhau dance and Punjab's bhangra.
The 19-minute opening ceremony will take place before the match and commence with a performance by Shillong Chamber Choir.
