Reigning Champions Chennai Super Kings will play Kolkata Knight Riders in the opening match of the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 8, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, in Chennai. The preliminary schedule, released by the BCCI, has the ten franchises playing at 13 venues over 51 days. The schedule is still not confirmed and may undergo changes keeping in view the state assembly elections to be held in a number of the host venues.
To qualify for the final, the top four teams in the league will have to negotiate a new play-off system. The four play-off games after the league stage — as per the revised format announced last year — will be split evenly between the Wankhede Stadium and the MA Chidambaram Stadium, with Chennai hosting the final on May 28.
