IPL 2024: According to a BCCI source, the Indian Premier League 2024 will be held in India despite the general elections. The highly anticipated cricket event is scheduled to begin on March 22, around the time of the announcement of the election dates.

A reliable BCCI source confirmed that IPL 2024 will be held in India. The general elections are also scheduled during this time.

There is no such thing as moving the tournament out of the country because the general elections will be held at the same time. The match can be transferred to another location if any state does not want to host it at that time for any reason.

The IPL 2024 auction that took place in Dubai last month has already led to the finalisation of squads. Two records were broken at the auction for the most expensive players.

The Kolkata Knight Riders bought the Australian Mitchell Starc for Rs 24.75 crore, making him the highest-paid cricketer in IPL history.

The IPL 2024 Auction also saw a 57% rise in viewers compared to its previous auction. Jay Shah, secretary of BCCI, revealed that the IPL 2024 auction attracted a total audience of 22,8 million viewers. This is a significant increase over the 2022 auction.

The defending champions, the Chennai Super Kings lead by MS Dhoni are preparing themselves to defend their title. Kasi Viswanathan expressed his optimism regarding Dhoni’s return. He stated, “He has recovered from his knee injury.”

He has begun training and is undergoing rehabilitation. “I am confident that he will be ready to play in the IPL when the next season begins.”

Indian Premier League is a cricket league that continues to excite fans. It’s expected to be an exciting season, with top players and fierce competition.

In 2009 and 2014, the IPL Was Held In Another Country Due To General Elections

In 2009 and 2014, the Indian Premier League was forced to move outside of India due to the general elections. The 2009 edition of the Indian Premier League was held entirely in South Africa. In the seventh edition, it was played in part in the United Arab Emirates.

The Deccan Chargers won the IPL 2009 title. This was their only championship in the league during their short existence before being replaced by Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The Kolkata Knight Riders won their second title five years later under Gautam Gambhir after beating Punjab Kings (then Kings XI Punjab).

IPL 2019 took place in India despite the fact that it coincided with general elections. Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians won the fourth of five IPL titles in that year by beating Chennai Super Kings at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

When Does The IPL Start In 2024?

The IPL schedule will depend on the dates for the Indian general elections this year. The Election Commission of India is likely to announce plans for elections during the first or second weeks of February, which will determine the schedule of this mega tournament.

The IPL 2024 schedule is expected to be released during the second or third weeks of February. Suppose the dates of the elections are announced, according to reports from close sources. In that case, the IPL Commission plans to release the schedule on Monday (February 12) if they have the dates.

The IPL schedule will need to be changed during the general elections as it will be based on the resources that the state governments provide.

IPL matches require heavy security, which leads to the management of police workload. The state governments should have provided the necessary protection during previous elections, causing games to be moved to other venues or to be delayed.
