Coach-turned-commentator Ravi Shastri kicked off the celebrations by revealing the 'world's largest cricket jersey', standing at a stunning 66*42 meters.

BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, secretary Jay Shah, Gujarat skipper Hardik Pandya and Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson soon joined him in attendance.

Shastri invited Ranveer Singh to the stage who put on back-to-back power-packed dance performances on famous tunes from movies like 'Band Baja Baarat' and 'Ram Leela'.

He tirelessly traveled across the ground, getting the thousands of spectators present on their feet. The stadium was lit with colors of the films, with massive flags of all teams and the league logo interspersed evenly.

He even did Lucknow Super Giants' (LSG) KL Rahul's signature shut-the-ears celebration on stage and gave a high-five to young RR batter Yashasvi Jaiswal.

It was the perfect precursor to AR Rahman's melodious show. The decorated singer, along with 10 other popular singers, like Benny Dayal, Neeti Mohan, and Mohit Chauhan, sang songs celebrating 75 years of Indian independence and the country's cricketing history.

There was a song for every decade of Indian cricket with snippets of heroes from every era playing in the background.

All the performers got together on stage at the end to bring the curtains down on the closing ceremony.
