IPL 2025 Final Likely To Be Held In Ahmedabad
Before IPL 2025 was halted for a few days, the Eden Gardens in Kolkata was bestowed with the opportunity to host the finals, but as per a report in Cricbuzz, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to announce the Narendra Modi Stadium as the host of the summit clash of the cash-rich league.
Reports suggest that the decision was taken during a series of meetings that involved the stakeholders of the BCCI. As per Cricbuzz's report, Qualifier 1 and Eliminator could be played in Mullanpur on May 29 and May 30, respectively. It is being said that the reason behind the BCCI's decision is the weather conditions, as rain has slowly started to take effect in the country.
