IPL-5 cricket tournament will be inaugurated at Chennai today. The dazzling show will be graced by legendary Amitabh Bachchan, Bollywood stars Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor and Salman Khan among other celebrities. The evening is expected to provide a sumptuous feast of dance and music for the fans with American pop star Katy Perry set to perform for the first time in India during the show. In the first match tomorrow, Chennai Super Kings will take on Mumbai Indians in the M A Chidambaram stadium. The stadium could not have got any better as two of the strongest teams in the tournament will set the tone for the high-octane Twenty20 tournament over the next eight weeks. Banking on their home advantage which enabled them to win back-to-back titles, the Chennai outfit, led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, will be hoping for their third consecutive IPL crown, but for that to happen they will have to pull out all stops to ensure a winning start to their campaign as their rivals Mumbai Indians appear to hold a slender edge. However, Chennai would miss the services of opener Mike Hussey and fast bowler Ben Hilfenhaus for the initial part of the tournament as they are busy representing Australia in the Caribbean till the end of this month. A total of 76 matches will be played across 12 venues across the country in the run up to the finals on May 27.
