IPL 2022: BCCI makes BIG change in timings of final match

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is nearing towards its business end with only eight games left to play this season. 

Meanwhile, the final of the IPL 2022, which will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 29, is now set be played at 8 PM IST rather than the earlier scheduled 7.30 PM IST. 

The development means that the toss during the summit clash will take place at 7.30 PM IST, instead of 7 PM IST. 

The reason behind the schedule change has been cited as the conduct of the closing ceremony, which starts at 6.30 PM IST.

Notably, for the last two IPL seasons, there was no opening and closing ceremony due to Covid. 

However, this year, the IPL management plans to hold the closing ceremony with music maestro AR Rehman and Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh set to perform in the closing gala.

Reportedly, the BCCI has also invited former Team India captains to the final match.
