The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 final will be held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai tentatively on May 26, BCCI sources have informed PTI. The BCCI is yet to release the full schedule of the IPL 2024 which started from Friday, March 22.

The BCCI has so far released the schedule for the first 21 matches due to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in the country. Now that the Election Commission of India (ECI) has announced the general elections dates, the BCCI could also release the schedule for the remaining matches soon.   It has been learnt that Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will hold one Qualifier and one Eliminator while another Qualifier will be held in Chennai. "The IPL Governing Council has followed the tradition of holding the opening game and final at the home venue of last year's defending champions -- in this case Chennai Super Kings," a senior BCCI official told PTI. With MS Dhoni playing his last IPL, knockout games in Chennai will be a treat for all the 'Thala' fans. The BCCI has finalised the schedule for the remainder of the IPL while keeping in mind the general election dates and will be released shortly. The IPL was last year held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Chennai Super Kings lifted their record-equalling fifth trophy after beating Gujarat Titans. Dhoni stepped down from captaincy ahead of the 2024 season as Ruturaj Gaikwad was named his successor. IPL 2023 Qualifier 1 and Eliminator were held at Chepauk last year. The Qualifier 2 between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians was held in Ahmedabad. Mykhel Staff Mykhel source: mykhel.com
