Kochi: The sixth edition of the Indian Super League (ISL) got off to a colourful start at a nearly packed Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Sunday.
Bollywood stars Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani brought the crowd to its feet, despite a steady spell of drizzle, with a short but lively performance ahead of the inaugural match between hosts Kerala Blasters and ATK.
Tiger and Disha danced to their hit numbers and the former, who is known for his daredevil action scenes, dished out a treat for the fans by combining acrobatic steps and gymnastic moves.
As expected Blasters supporters painted the Nehru Stadium in a sea of yellow.
ATK co-owner and Indian cricket legend Sourav Ganguly, Blaster co-owner and Tollywood superstar Chiranjeevi, and Football Sports Development Limited Chairperson Nita Ambani were among those who were present on the occasion.
