Here’s the complete IPL 2017 schedule
The Indian Premier League or IPL 2017, all fireworks, controversies and effing annoying jingles, returns tonight for a 44-day, 60-match celebration of surviving 10 years. It’s survived a miraculous nine years, and so the organizers decided to throw it a massive party.
But like any kid entering double-digit years, we’re expecting some growing pains: consequences of the Lodha Report; the mid-season abandonment of England and South Africa’s players for their international tour; the initial and full-season absences of top players due to injury (Kohli, ABV, Starc, Ashwin), auctions (Ishant, Irfan) and misc (JP Duminy, Malinga, Sarfaraz Khan); Harsha Bhogle’s confused commentator status (Will he? Won’t he?); the end of an SRK-less era at Wankhede; a non-Dhoni-led team. Will IPL 2017 follow the footsteps of its predecessor and be so boring that commentators are reduced to running surveys about the best biryani, or making blatant gaffes on-air (#TossGate, anyone?)
While we speculate on how different this season of the IPL will be – besides the above, keep a watch out for our take right here on gqindia.com – behold: the entire schedule, list of venues and timings is right here. The action begins with the IPL 9 Final rematch between Dark Horses Royal Challengers Bangalore and in-the-running-again Sunrisers Hyderabad, minus a few famous faces. Get your brackets ready.
