Get ready to witness the thrill of India’s premier cricketing event as the Indian Premier League (IPL) makes its highly anticipated comeback this week. The reigning champions, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), are all set to defend their title in an epic clash against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium.

While the season opener kicks off at 8 pm IST, subsequent matches are slated for 7:30 PM, with double-headers starting at 3:30 PM.
