This year, get ready to watch the spectacular 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), starting from April 9 to May 30. The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) is looking confident to host the tournament in India this year even though due to the on-going pandemic. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be battling against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the opening match of the season. BCCI has decided to host the matches in India across six cities namely Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata.
It has been confirmed by the board that the arrangements for health safety have been taken care of by all the players and they don’t have to travel much except only three times during the league stage. In order to eliminate home advantage and biasedness, BCCI gave its statement after reaching a final conclusion that all the eight teams will play only on 4 venues out of six, except their home ground.
