IPL 2019: Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore are two of the most popular teams in IPL with a massive fan base. Now, that the fans know that the two heavyweights will lock horns in the season opener, they are super excited. With sambhar being a popular dish in the southern part of India, RCB took to Twitter and posted a question which read, “A spicy south Indian Derby for starters – but we prefer the sweet sambar…”. CSK was quick to take to Twitter and respond to their arch-rivals. “But sambar is always #Yellove in colour no?” they wrote.

It is a treat for fans to see their favourite players in action in the 2019 IPL opener. If CSK has MS Dhoni with  God-like following, RCB has the Indian captain and the No batsman in the world in Virat Kohli. Fans are literally spoilt for choices.

According to the schedule announced by the Committee of Administrators (CoA) and BCCI, as many as 17 matches will be played from March 23 to April 5, with three double-header days on March 24, 30 and 31.

The IPL schedule was only limited to the first two weeks of the tournament since the dates for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections have not been announced. As the details of the Lok Sabha elections still awaited, BCCI stated that once the polling dates are decided it would “address any issues with the first two weeks and will also prepare a schedule for the remainder of the season working with the local authorities around the polling dates.”

“IPL released the schedule of the first two weeks (17 matches) of the 2019 Season. These are still subject to the announcement of the Lok Sabha 2019 election dates. Once these have been released BCCI will address any issues with the first two weeks and will also prepare a schedule for the remainder of the season working with the local authorities around the polling dates,” an IPL media release read on Tuesday.
