This time next week the biggest cricketing extravaganza will begin - IPL (Indian Premiere League).

The first edition of the IPL starts on 18 April 2008 and its tagline is "8 teams, without any players, only warriors" and it's certain cricket mania will be at an all time high for the following few weeks.

There certainly will be quite a presence of Bollywood stars at some cricket matches. The opening match of the IPL itself sees Dr.Vijay Mallya's 'Bangalore Royal Challengers' take on Shah Rukh Khan's 'Kolkata Knight Riders' at the Chinaswamy stadium in Bangalore.

While most of the team captains and owners will be present on April 18th for the opening ceremony in Bangalore, once the tournament starts, most owners will be seen in the places where their teams are playing. As a result, Shah Rukh will be seen cheering his team wherever they play.

Khan is particularly looking forward to cheering his team at the spectacular Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata. The Superstar has even urged some of his good friends to be present along with him to cheer his team.

In a bid give young people the chance to witness all the cricketing action live, Khan has decided to keep the ticket prices as low as Rs. 100. What's more, Shah Rukh plans to hand over every 1,000th ticket purchased personally.
