ipl schedule : Chairman Arun Dhumal has given a big update regarding the Indian Premier League 2024 schedule. The tournament will begin on March 22 and the entire edition will be played in India. If the Lok Sabha elections are held in April-May, there is a possibility that the tournament may be shifted out of India. But league president Arun Dhumal has informed that the tournament will be organized entirely in India. The elections are likely to be held in April-May, so the complete schedule of the 17th season of IPL has not been announced yet. “The schedule for the first 15 days will be announced and the dates for the remaining matches will be decided after the election dates are announced,” Arun Dhumal said.
Lok Sabha election dates may be announced early next month
The dates of Lok Sabha elections can be announced early next month. Arun Dhumal said, “We are starting the tournament from March 22. We are working closely with government agencies and will be the first to announce the launch programme. The entire tournament will be played in India.” Let us tell you that in the year 2009, the entire tournament was played abroad. Due to the Lok Sabha elections in 2014, some matches were played in UAE. However, despite the elections in the year 2019, the tournament was organized in India.
The inaugural match of IPL will be played between last year's finalists
As per tradition, the inaugural match of the IPL will be played between last year's finalists. The first match of IPL 2024 will be played between last year's winner Chennai Super Kings and runner-up Gujarat Titans. The player auction was held in December last year itself and Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc became the most expensive player in the history of the league when he was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 24.75 crore.
