The ACA Stadium in Guwahati is gearing up for an IPL match on April 7, featuring a clash between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians. Both teams have already begun their preparations for this high-stakes encounter.
While Rajasthan Royals will arrive in Guwahati today (Saturday), the Mumbai Indians team is expected to arrive late tonight or tomorrow afternoon. It is noteworthy that Guwahati serves as the “second home” for the Rajasthan Royals. Led by Sanju Samson, the team includes stars like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, and Shimron Hetmyer. On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians, captained by Hardik Pandya, boast a lineup featuring Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah.
Local hero Riyan Parag, an Assam native, is a major draw for the Guwahati crowd. His recent explosive performance in the T20 World Cup has further fueled the local fans’ enthusiasm.
Fans are eager to witness global icons like Rohit Sharma (the “Hitman”) and Suryakumar Yadav (the world’s #1 T20 batter) in action.
Approximately 35,000 spectators are expected to fill the Barsapara Stadium. Tickets have already been sold out as fans from across the state flock to the city.
Local authorities have made extensive arrangements for traffic management and security around the Barsapara area to ensure a smooth experience for the “cricket-crazy” public.
