The IPL 2025 opening ceremony at Eden Gardens delivered electrifying energy and a dazzling mix of cricket and Bollywood. While the crowd was treated to musical performances and fireworks, two moments stole the show: Rinku Singh’s lively dance and an unforgettable SRK-Kohli moment on stage.
It all began when Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan led the crowd in a roaring chant of “Kohli, Kohli,” causing the Royal Challengers Bengaluru icon to shyly smile on stage. SRK then requested Virat to dance to the hit track “Jhoome Jo Pathaan.” To the delight of fans, Virat graciously agreed.
What followed was a memorable moment as both SRK and Kohli performed the signature hook step of the song together under the lights, with thousands cheering them on at Eden Gardens.
Earlier, Kolkata Knight Riders’ star batter Rinku Singh brought his own spark to the ceremony, dancing energetically to the track “Lut Put Gaya.” His effortless moves and charisma added a fun, celebratory tone to the evening.
With such high-energy performances before the first ball was even bowled, IPL 2025 kicked off not just as a cricket tournament, but as a full-blown celebration of sport, music, and culture.
