“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.”

The Lok Sabha poll dates are expected to be announced in early March. When questioned about the possibility of the league being moved elsewhere due to the elections, Dhumal clarified, “It won’t happen overseas. 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.

Continuing the tradition, the opening match will feature the finalists from the previous season – Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans.
