IPL 2024: Schedule, venues, live streaming details - All you need to know

IPL 2024 gets underway on Friday, March 22, with a game between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai. This year's competition will be the 17th edition of the T20 league.

Like in the last two seasons of the IPL, 10 teams will be featuring in the tournament in this year's edition as well. The top four sides at the end of the league stage will progress to the playoffs, which will include two qualifiers, an eliminator and the final.

CSK and MI are the two most successful teams in IPL history, having won five titles each. However, Gujarat Titans have made a huge impact in the two seasons they have been part of.

They won the crown in their maiden season in 2022 and were runners-up in 2023. However, with all-rounder Hardik Pandya being traded to MI, it remains to be seen how GT fare under new captain Shubman Gill.
