Sports News: The 17th season of IPL may start from March 22.

IPL 2024 will start from March 22. IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed this to news agency PTI on Tuesday. Despite the general elections, the entire tournament will be played in India only. The elections are expected to take place in April and May and this is the main reason why the schedule for the 17th edition of the IPL has not been released yet. Dhumal said that initially only the schedule of the first 15 days will be released. The list of remaining matches will be decided after the announcement of general election dates.
What did Arun Dhumal say?
The Lok Sabha election dates are expected to be announced early next month. Dhumal said, ‘We are hoping to start the tournament from March 22. We are working closely with government agencies and will release the initial schedule first. The entire tournament will be held in India only.
In 2009 d. The tournament was played in Africa
Only in 2009 was the IPL played entirely abroad (South Africa), while in 2014, due to the general elections, some matches were played in the UAE. However, the tournament was held in India despite the general elections in 2019. Given that the T20 World Cup will begin just a few days after the IPL ends, the final is likely to be held on May 26.
T20 World Cup in June
India will play its first match in the World Cup against Ireland on June 5, while the ICC tournament will begin on June 1 with the match between America and Canada. The first match of IPL is played between the last year’s finalist teams. In such a situation, the first match this year will be played between the winning team of 2023 IPL Chennai Super Kings and the runner-up Gujarat Titans.
