IPL 2022 final to start at 8 pm

MUMBAI: The IPL 2022 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 29 will start from 8 pm, and not 7.30 pm, due to a grand closing ceremony preceding it. "The start of the IPL final will be slightly pushed back to 8 pm due to a 40-minute closing ceremony preceding it. Due to Covid, this is the first time since 2019 when the BCCI is organising a closing ceremony for the IPL, and it wants to celebrate the occasion in grand fashion," a source in the BCCI told TOI on Thursday.
