The Indian Premier League (IPL) start date has been announced this year. According to ANI, the IPL 2021 event will start from April 9. The first match will be played in Chennai and the final will be played at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. India and England recently played the last two matches of the four-match Test series on the same field. The ground will also host a five-match T20 series between the two countries.

However, the BCCI has not said that IPL matches will be held without any spectators. During the IPL match played in the UAE last year, viewers were not allowed to watch the match live. But this time fans will be looking to get to the stadium, which will boost the excitement of their favorite team.

Over the past few weeks, controversy over the location has increased. Since the BCCI has reportedly been considering the names of Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Mumbai, the controversy has increased significantly. Recently, Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals have also been upset about this. BCCI has so far been silent about the growing controversy over the location.
