IPL will start 5 days after Champions Trophy final, date revealed

IPL 2025 Date: The excitement of the ongoing Test series between India and Australia has just started, and just two days after that, the mega auction of the IPL 2025 season is going to be held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This auction is going to be very special for cricket fans as not only new players will be selected, but many star players will also be a part of the auction. Everyone is eagerly waiting for this auction.

Start of IPL 2025 season:

Surprisingly, the dates of the IPL 2025 season have been revealed, and it will start earlier than the last several seasons. According to the report, IPL 2025 will start from March 14 and will run till May 25. The special thing is that IPL 2025 will be organized immediately after the final of the Champions Trophy, the final of which is to be played on March 9.

Apart from this, the BCCI has also announced the dates of the next three seasons of IPL. The 2026 season will start from March 15 and will run till May 31. At the same time, the 2027 IPL season will also start from March 14 and will run till May 30. Regarding these dates, it is believed that the BCCI has shared them only as the window of the tournament, but it is possible that the tournament will be held on these dates.

IPL after Champions Trophy:

This time the IPL will start immediately after the Champions Trophy, which will be held in Pakistan from February 19 to March 9. The IPL 2025 will start just five days after this, i.e. from March 14. This means that the IPL will start 9 days earlier than last year. One of the main reasons for this is that the BCCI wants the teams to get as much time as possible, so that they can perform better during the tournament. Along with this, the IPL will also be followed by the final of the World Test Championship, which will be held at Lord's, and after this the 5-Test series between India and England will begin.

New entry in IPL 2025 mega auction:

While the dates of the IPL 2025 season have been revealed, another interesting news has come before the mega auction. US left-arm pacer Saurabh Netravalkar, who came into the limelight with his brilliant bowling in the T20 World Cup 2024, has been included in the list of shortlisted players. His name was not in the list of 574 players released earlier, but now two days ago this player has also been included in the auction. Similarly, England fast bowler Jofra Archer's name was also not in the list earlier, but he also sent his name at the last moment.

This could prove to be an exciting twist for IPL 2025 as the addition of these new and talented players will increase the excitement of the tournament even more.
