The wait is finally over! The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 is just around the corner, and the full schedule has been released. The defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the opener at Eden Gardens on March 22. The final is set to take place at the same venue on May 25. This promises to be an exciting season, with a packed schedule that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
The IPL 2025 will kick off on March 22 with KKR taking on RCB at Eden Gardens. This will be a closely watched match, as both teams have a strong squad and are looking to start the season on a high note. KKR, in particular, will be looking to continue their winning momentum from last season, where they won the title for the first time since 2014.
The next day, on March 23, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face Mumbai Indians (MI) in a highly anticipated match. CSK has a strong squad, with players like Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, and Ravindra Jadeja. They will be looking to make a strong statement in their first match of the season. MI, on the other hand, has a mix of experienced players like Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, and Jasprit Bumrah, along with young talent like Tilak Varma and Arjun Tendulkar.
The first week of the tournament will see a total of 10 matches, with all eight teams in action. The next few weeks will see a mix of home and away matches, with each team playing a total of 14 matches.
One of the highlights of the schedule is the fact that Eden Gardens will host not only the opener and the final but also Qualifier 2. This means that the team that loses in the Qualifier 1 will have a chance to redeem themselves in Qualifier 2, making the tournament even more exciting.
The Eliminator, which will take place on May 22, will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. This will be a crucial match, as the team that loses will be eliminated from the tournament. The winner of the Eliminator will then face the loser of Qualifier 1 in Qualifier 2.
The Qualifier 1 will take place on May 23 at the same venue, with the winner advancing to the final. This means that the top two teams will have a chance to make it to the final, making the tournament even more unpredictable.
The final, which will take place on May 25, will be a closely watched match, as the two best teams in the tournament will face off for the coveted title. Eden Gardens will once again be the venue, and fans can expect an electric atmosphere as the two teams battle it out for the trophy.
