IPL 2022: This mega event is going to be more exciting with the addition of 2 new teams before the 15th season of IPL. Before this tournament starts in March-April, the spectators are waiting for the IPL 2022 Mega Auction to be held in Bangalore on February 12 and 13. However, this league is facing a big threat of the third wave of Corona. Due to this a big question is that there is a lot of doubt about the timing and venue of its event. However, now its situation is becoming almost clear.
The 15th season of IPL may start on March 27
Where will the 15th season of IPL be held? This is the biggest question in the world of cricket nowadays. However, now its situation seems to be almost clear. According to the report of The Telegraph, the tournament will be organized in the city of Mumbai, India. The report said that in the meeting of the top officials of the BCCI held on Thursday evening, it was decided that the IPL will be played in Mumbai from March 27 against 2022. The continuously decreasing corona cases in the city are the reason behind this decision of the BCCI.
However, the final decision on this will be taken only on February 20, which is the last date to announce the names of the venues. The option of South Africa is also open to the BCCI to organize the IPL.
IPL 2022 Matches will be played on 3 grounds of Mumbai
According to the reports of BCCI officials, all the matches of IPL 2022 will be played on three grounds in Mumbai. These matches will be held at Wankhede Stadium, Barbourne Stadium, and DY Patil Stadium. Apart from this, if needed, Pune can also be made a venue. The biggest advantage of this is that players will not need to travel by air and this will reduce the risk of spreading corona to a great extent.

According to the report, this time Ranji Trophy is being considered to be organized in 2 phases. The first phase will be played from February to March. Whereas the second phase will be played in June and July after the end of IPL 2022.
