Another high profile casualty at this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) may overshadow this vital clash between the Punjab Kings XI and the Deccan Chargers at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharmasala.
The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) has extended the invitation to His Holiness the Dalai Lama who is not a novice to the game that is not so popular within the Tibetans.
He had watched a game of cricket between Himachal Governor’s XI and Chief Minister’s XI at the same venue two years ago.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama will attend an Indian Premiere League cricket match on April 18 as a special guest. According to the official website of the Tibetan government in exile, the Tibetan leader’s office here has confirmed that the invitation has been accepted.
With snow-capped mountains as a backdrop, Cricket Stadium in Dharamsala is one of the most picturesque cricket grounds in India.
One of the newest venues in India, the stadium is situated about 1457 metres above sea level.
Deccan Chargers and Kind XI Punjab will lock horns here in their IPL match after inauguration. Chargers will have to settle with nothing less than a victory to secure semi final berth.
Friday’s match between Deccan Chargers and Kind XI Punjab will lock horns here in their IPL match after inauguration in a day-and-night affair while the second match Sunday would be a day game between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings.
The weather in Dharamshala provides a perfect condition to host an international cricket match.
The best time for cricket season is from March-June and from September-December.
The breeze coming directly from the mountains will help the seam bowlers.
