Finally, the fixtures list of the much-talked-about eleventh edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) has been released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday.

The cash-rich league tournament will start from April 7 and end on May 27, 2018. The matches will be played at nine venues, across India.

“Defending champions Mumbai Indians will take on two-time winners Chennai Super Kings in what promises to be a marquee opening game of the Indian Premier League 2018, to be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday, April 7, 2018,” the BCCI statement read.

Notably, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals are back in the IPL after the break of two years and the fans in Chennai and Jaipur will once again get their share of the IPL frenzy as M. A. Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) and the Sawai Mansingh Stadium will host home matches.

Meanwhile, Preity Zinta co-owned franchise Kings XI Punjab will play their three home matches in Indore and four matches at home in Mohali.

The finale of IPL will be played in Wankhede Stadium Mumbai.
