The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 is set to culminate in a grand finale at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on May 26, according to sources within the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The decision aligns with the tradition of hosting the opening and final matches at the home ground of the defending champions, which in this case is the Chennai Super Kings.
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will play host to one Qualifier and one Eliminator, while the other Qualifier will be held in Chennai. The BCCI has meticulously planned the schedule to avoid any clashes with the upcoming general elections.
The knockout games in Chennai will be a special treat for fans of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is expected to play his final IPL season. The legendary wicketkeeper-batsman has a massive following in the city, and his presence on the field is sure to electrify the atmosphere.
The BCCI has also finalized the schedule for the remainder of the IPL, taking into account the general election dates. The tournament will resume on March 31 with a match between the Chennai Super Kings and the Gujarat Titans in Chennai. The league stage will conclude on May 21, followed by the playoffs and the grand finale on May 26.
The IPL is one of the most popular cricket tournaments in the world, attracting millions of viewers and generating significant revenue. The 2023 edition promises to be even more exciting with the return of some of the biggest names in the sport, including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and David Warner.
