The IPL 2022 final in Ahmedabad is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. The championship match will be held on May 29 in Ahmedabad.
The final game of the current Indian Premier League (IPL) season will begin at 8 p.m. IST. The BCCI is planning a cultural closing ceremony before the title match on May 29 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad (Sunday). Several Bollywood celebrities will also perform during the closing ceremony, which will last 50 minutes.
According to Cricbuzz, the closing ceremony will begin at 6:30 PM IST and will last until 7:20 PM IST. The toss will then take place at 7:30 p.m., with play beginning 30 minutes later. Surprisingly, the opening ceremony did not take place this year. The decision to organize the closing ceremony was made as an afterthought at the Apex Council meeting.
This news follows reports that the BCCI informed interested parties on Wednesday (May 18) that their preferred time to begin IPL matches next year would be 8 PM IST. They used to stick to the same schedule for the first ten years (2008-2017). However, at the request of Star Sports, the time of the matches was changed to 7:30 PM IST.
