    What's the story

    The 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will commence on March 22.

    Defending champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the opener at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium.

    Notably, the BCCI has announced the schedule for the first 15 days.

    The full schedule is likely to come after the Election Commission of India announces the General Election dates.

    Schedule 

    Full schedule to come in March

    The nationwide polling dates are expected to be announced between the second and third week of March.

    Hence, the entire IPL 2024 will be announced only thereafter.

    Meanwhile, IPL chairman Arun Singh Dhumal recently expressed confidence that the competition will not have to be moved out of the country due to the clash with the elections.

    Updates 

    Key updates ahead of IPL 2024 

    DC skipper Rishabh Pant, who missed the last season, will reportedly play IPL 2024 as a pure batter.

    GT pacer and the highest wicket-taker of IPL 2023, Mohammed Shami has been reportedly ruled out of the season due to an ankle injury.

    Mitchell Starc, having bagged Rs. 24.75 crore from KKR in the IPL 2024 auction, became the most-expensive player in IPL history.
