Everybody is grooving DJ Bravo’s Champion and now it’s all set to rock the opening ceremony of the Indian Premier League.

If tournament chairman Rajeev Shukla is to be believed, Bravo’s ‘Champion dance’ during the opening ceremony and the use of LED light stumps are the two major attractions of the ninth edition of Indian Premier League.

Dwayne Bravo is performing on <i>Champion</i> during the opening ceremony of IPL-9 in Mumbai. His performance will be a special attraction and there might be a few more West Indies cricketers, who will perform alongside Bravo.

The opening ceremony will also see performances of an all-girl English band TBC and Bollywood celebrities, including Katrina Kaif, Ranveer Singh, Jacqueline Fernandez and Yo Yo Honey Singh.

The star performance would, however, be of American rapper Chris Brown, who will be performing in India for the first time. Brown will be performing alongside along with American dancehall reggae trio Major Lazer, English rapper Fuse ODG and Jamaican-American recording artist Nailah Thorbourne.
