IPL 2024 to Kick Off on March 22 in India

“We are aiming to start the IPL this season on March 22,” Dhumal informed The Indian Express. He mentioned that the schedule for the first 10 days would be revealed initially, while the remaining games’ schedule would be disclosed once the official dates for the general elections are announced.

Dhumal emphasized the cautious approach, stating, “We don’t want to announce the full IPL schedule and then find out that the security agency can’t provide security for specific venue games. It takes a lot of logistical challenges to change the venue at the last moment, a lot of machinery work behind the scenes, and they need time to conduct each IPL game.

So, we thought, let’s wait and announce only the first few games scheduled. We will announce the complete schedule once we get a clear picture of which state will be holding elections on specific dates.”

That is why we are waiting for Lok Sabha election dates so that we can plan the venues accordingly.”

This isn’t the first time the IPL coincides with general elections. In 2009, the second season was held in South Africa, and in 2014, the first 20 matches took place in the UAE, with the rest in India. In 2019, during the Lok Sabha polls, all games were held in India.

As per IPL 2024 to Kick Off on March 22 in India. Given the T20 World Cup’s commencement on June 1, it is anticipated that the IPL will conclude by the end of May.

‘Pat Cummins Set to Captain Sunrisers Hyderabad’: Sunil Gavaskar’s Big Prediction for IPL 2024 https://thenewsay.com/pat-cummins-set-to-captain-sunrisers-hyderabad/ https://thenewsay.com/pat-cummins-set-to-captain-sunrisers-hyderabad/#respond Wed, 14 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000 https://smartmag.theme-sphere.com/smart-times/ai-in-basketball-could-an-algorithm-really-predict-injuries/ Pat Cummins Set to Captain Sunrisers Hyderabad: Sunil Gavaskar’s Big Prediction for IPL 2024. Sunrisers Hyderabad made a significant move during the IPL 2024 auction in December by securing Australian player Pat Cummins with a whopping bid, breaking records as the first player in IPL history to breach the Rs 20-crore mark.

The team, finishing at the bottom of the points table last season, invested Rs 20.50 crore in Cummins, who briefly held the spot of the most expensive IPL auction purchase before being surpassed by teammate Mitchell Starc. Below you will get detailed information about Pat Cummins Set to Captain Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Pat Cummins Set to Captain Sunrisers Hyderabad: IPL 2024

As the IPL season approaches, Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar has made a bold prediction about a potential change in leadership at SRH. Last year, the team was led by South African Aiden Markram. Gavaskar suggests that Cummins, who led Australia to a record-extending sixth ODI World Cup title, could replace Markram as the skipper.

I think Pat Cummins was a smart buy, maybe a little over-expensive. Smart buy because he will bring the leadership aspect to their team, which was lacking the last time around,”

said Gavaskar on Star Sports.

Last time around, some of the bowling changes that we saw in crucial games were just head-scratching, and that cost them matches. So now with Pat Cummins coming in, I am pretty certain that he will be the captain of the team and that will make a huge difference,”

he added.

Sunrisers Hyderabad also added Travis Head, the player of the final at the 2023 ODI World Cup, to their squad. more about Pat Cummins Set to Captain Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Gavaskar feels Head is the ‘ideal no. 1’ in T20s.“Travis Head is the kind of batter who can take the game away from you. He did that in the World Cup finals. He is just the ideal No. 1 in a 20-overs game for the SunRisers Hyderabad,”

said Gavaskar.

So, he and whoever opens with him, whether it’s Mayank Agarwal or whether it’s Rahul Tripathi, who started as an opener and then went in the middle, if he comes in the opening slot again, then it will be entertaining batting for sure,”

he added.
