With the 17th edition of the IPL (Indian Premier League) 2024 in full flow, there is some big news coming about the cricket carnival's business end. If recent reports are to be believed, the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is all set to host the final of the IPL 2024 and one Qualifier as well.
On the other hand, the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is set to host the other Qualifier and the Eliminator of the competition. It is worth noting that the same stadium hosted the final of the IPL 2023, where Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans to lift their fifth IPL title.
“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 was quoted as saying by India Today.
