Cricket lovers, get ready! The Tata IPL 2025 is back and set to bring the thrill once again. After a short break, the league is all set to resume from 17 May 2025, and the final match will be played on 3 June 2025. A total of 17 matches will be played at six different venues across India. The wait is over, and your favourite teams are ready to hit the field!
The IPL had to pause for a while because of some serious issues between India and Pakistan, which even affected the safety of players and fans. But now, things are back to normal, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has worked hard to make sure the rest of the tournament happens smoothly. Fans, players, and everyone involved can finally breathe a sigh of relief as the action-packed T20 league is all set to continue.
This year, the remaining matches will be played in Bengaluru, Jaipur, Delhi, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai. These cities are buzzing with excitement, and cricket fans can’t wait to cheer for their teams in the stadiums.
There are two double-header Sundays in the schedule, meaning you get to enjoy two matches on the same day! The playoffs are also lined up, with Qualifier 1 on 29 May, the Eliminator on 30 May, Qualifier 2 on 1 June, and the grand final on 3 June.
