IPL 2024 will get underway on Friday, March 22 with a high-profile clash between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. While CSK lifted their record-equalling fifth title last year, RCB finished a disappointing sixth, with seven wins and as many losses.
Only the schedule for the first 21 games has been announced by the BCCI, as they were waiting for the dates of the general elections to be announced. Now that the election dates have been confirmed, the board is likely to announce the full schedule soon.
There were reports that the second half of IPL 2024 might be moved to the UAE due to the general elections in India. However, BCCI secretary Jay Shah dismissed the speculation and clarified that the entire tournament will be held in India.
