Dharamsala: May 16, 2011
BJP leader L K Advani will be among the high profile spectators, who will watch the Indian Premier League match between Kings XI Punjab and Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday.
Confirming the leaders' visit for Tuesday's match at the picturesque Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) stadium here, an official said that Advani is expected to reach the hill town later on Monday.
Hosts KXIP will have their task cut out when they lock horns with a formidable RCB team to remain in contention for the play-offs berth.
Buoyed by Chris Gayle's blistering form in the IPL so far, Bangalore have not tasted defeat since last seven matches while Punjab are on a high after registering their third consecutive victory, against Delhi Daredevils, at the same venue on Sunday.
Apart from the veteran leader, ICC president Sharad Pawar, BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla and bollywood actress Deepika Padukone are also expected to be a part of tomorrow's game.
HPCA had earlier also confirmed the presence of Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama for tomorrow's match.
