IPL 2024 likely to begin from March 22: League chairman Arun Dhumal
Hindustan TimesThe 2024 season of the Indian Premier League is likely to begin from March 22 onwards, said league chairman Arun Dhumal, who further mentioned that the entire tournament will be held in India despite the dates coinciding with general elections. In 2009, the entire IPL tournament was held outside India while in 2014, the opening 20 games were held in the UAE due to the general elections in the respective years. Given that the IPL 2024 season will be immediately followed by the T20 World Cup in the USA and West Indies, the league's final will likely be held on May 26. The players' auction for the 2024 season was held in December last year and Australian pacer Mitchell Starc became the most expensive player in the history of the league after being bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for ₹24.75 crore.
