Opening ceremony of T20 World Cup 2024 performances live streaming, time in IST
On June 1st, the T20 World Cup is going to get started with the United States of America taking on Canada in the opening match of the campaign in Texas. A very strange decision has been taken by the authority: the grand ceremony of the campaign will be held before the second match of the season in Guyana and not the first match. The curtain-raising event has been scheduled to take place before the match between the West Indies and Papua New Guinea on June 2nd.
This is going to be the first time that a cricket World Cup is partially being held on US soil. The star batsman of Indian cricket team Virat Kohli landed in New York on Friday evening and also admitted that he had never imagined playing cricket in the USA at some point in his career.
Kohli said in a video, “Honestly, I never thought we would be playing cricket in any form in the States, but now it's a reality.”
He further said, “That tells you about the growing impact of the sport in the world, and the United States is more than willing to accept the change and be probably the first once on a global scale to accept it in a way with the World Cup.”
The opening ceremony of the T20 World Cup will be held on June 2 at 6:00 p.m. IST. The match will get started at 8:00 p.m. IST.
A number of DJs and singers from the Caribbean are going to perform at the ceremony; this includes top names like David Rudder, Ravi B, Erphaan, etc. Fans of cricket can watch the opening ceremony of the T20 World Cup on the Star Sports Network in India and its live streaming app, Hotstar.
