Wait ends here for the most awaited cricketing event in the world. Almost after two years, the IPL will return home while Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata host the extravaganza of cricket.
The 2021 season will begin on April 9 in Chennai with a high-octane clash between defending champion Mumbai Indians and full of smashers Royal Challengers Bangalore.
For the first time world’s largest cricket stadium Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the playoffs as well as the final on May 30. The newly-built stadium that hosted the second pink ball fixture between India and England at home last month will host first-ever IPL.
Each team is scheduled to play at four venues during the league matches of IPL 2021.
Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru will host 10 matches each out of the 56 league matches, on the other hand Ahmedabad and Delhi will host 8 matches each. All the teams this season will play away from home venues. To fellow cricket fans we will keep updating all the IPL updates and IPL Betting Tips.
