How many matches?
A total of 74 matches were played in the IPL last season (2024). It is known that the number of teams in the league has increased to 10 with the addition of two new teams from the 2022 season. With this, the number of matches reached 74. Meanwhile, bcci had previously thought of increasing the number of matches to 84 from next season. But, now that decision has been taken back. Most of the players playing in IPL are regular players in all three formats. Especially the indian players. Similarly, if the number of matches is increased in IPL, the workload will be enormous. The schedule also increases. For example, 64 days were scheduled in the previous season for 74 matches. If ten more matches are added, it will be 84. Another 10 days or five days would be too much of a schedule. All this puts pressure on the players. In this context, it is reported that bcci wants to match with 74 matches.
