Bollywood's
most
versatile
actor
Farhan
Akhtar
will
open
Star
Sports'
Live
Broadcast
on
'Cricket
Live',
ahead
of
the
opening
match
of
Dream11
IPL
2020.
The
nation
has
been
going
through
some
tough
times
due
to
COVID-19,
making
this
season
even
more
special,
since
it
gives
a
reason
for
people
to
come
together
to
watch
India's
very
own
tournament.
Farhan
Akhtar
will
set
the
tone
of
the
tournament
by
introducing
'Cricket
Live',
before
the
much-anticipated
clash
between
Mumbai
Indians
and
Chennai
Super
Kings.
He
will
be
addressing
today's
testing
times,
and
how
we
need
to
'Believe'
to
ride
over
this
'Toofaan'.
Speaking
exclusively
on
Star
Sports'
Cricket
Live,
Farhan
said,
"These
are
trying
times
and
our
nation
continues
to
persevere
and
move
forward.
With
the
world
picking
up
pace
in
the
new
normal,
the
announcement
of
the
IPL
was
a
breath
of
fresh
air.
I
have
been
looking
forward
to
some
sporting
action,
and
LIVE
Indian
cricket
is
back
after
a
long
hiatus.
There's
much
to
learn
from
the
journey
of
a
team
or
an
individual
in
it.
To
rise
after
you
fall,
to
learn
from
ones
mistakes
and
most
importantly,
to
stay
grounded
and
humble
in
victory.
I
resonate
with
this
feeling
even
more
after
working
on
my
upcoming
film
Toofaan
in
which
sport
is
the
backdrop,
made
on
similar
ethos.
It
is
important,
especially
in
these
times,
to
stay
resilient,
optimistic
and
ready
to
battle
all
odds
for
a
better
tomorrow.
Personally,
it
also
is
an
absolute
pleasure
to
open
the
maiden
show
'Cricket
Live'
on
Star
Sports
preceding
one
of
the
most
awaited
IPL
clashes
-
MI
and
CSK.
Looking
forward
to
a
grand
opening
game."
