Mumbai: So yes the wait is finally over. We now know when the much-awaited IPL 2024 schedule would be announced. As per a report, the announcement happens today in the evening at 5:00 PM IST. What we know thus far is that the opener would be played on March 22 in Chennai and without a doubt, defending champions – CSK – would be featuring in that game. The fixtures will be announced during a live show on Star Sports and JioCinema.
“We are looking at a March 22 start for the tournament. We are working closely with the government agencies and we will first release the initial schedule,” Arun Dhumal told PTI.
As per reports, the IPL 2024 final is expected to be played on May 26, just few days before the start of the T20 World Cup, set to be played in West Indies and USA.
“Planning to start IPL 2024 from March 22: League Chairman Arun Dhumal,” told IANS.
Earlier there were reports that the schedule will be announced in phases citing the upcoming Lok Sabha elections which will also take place later this year in India.
As per the early reports, with ten teams vying for the coveted trophy, expect a total of 74 matches to be played, potentially spread across two phases due to India’s general elections scheduled during the same period.
However, this is clear that the first match will be played between MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings and Shubman Gill led Gujarat Titans. This will the last dance for those Indian cricketers who will feature in the T20 World Cup which will be played later this year in USA and West Indies. T20 World Cup 2024 will kickstart from June 6.
