5th edition of Indian Premier League T20 tournament has started with a colourful opening ceremony. A galaxy of film stars including Amitabh Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor got ball rolling for the IPL event with a glittering opening ceremony which enthralled the audience. The dazzling ceremony was also graced by American pop star Katy Perry and Bollywood star Salman Khan among other showbiz celebrities. The IPL features world stars playing for nine regional teams and the event will continue for 54 days. The 76-match tournament from April 4 to May 27 has the nine teams playing each other on a home and away basis before a four-game play-off. Pakistani players have been kept out of the tournament since the second edition, reportedly due to security fears. The inaugural match of the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will have the defending champions Chennai Super Kings taking on the Harbhajan Singh-led Mumbai Indians at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Wednesday (today). Sachin Tendulkar has decided to step down as skipper of the Mumbai franchise, handing over the reins to Harbhajan, who helped Mumbai lift their maiden title, the Champions League Twenty20, last year in the absence of an injured Tendulkar. To make the game more real, around 80 percent of footage used in the IPL 4 official game is from actual matches. The game has been developed in Canada.
