BCCI's biggest league tournament set to end with a blockbuster clash

IPL, the most decorated festival for cricket lovers around the world returned with its fifteenth season with a new sponsorship from the Indian giant TATA and two new franchises from Gujarat and Lucknow. The tournament also had a new kind of league stage as the teams were divided into two groups of five teams based on their performance in the previous seasons.

Matches with every team in the group and the team corresponding to their position from the other group and a singular match with the rest of the teams ensured fourteen matches for each of the teams at the end of the season league stage.

To avoid any hindrance from the covid situation around the country, all the league matches were played at three stadiums in Mumbai and Pune.
