Who's that IPL player?“After 70 action-packed league-stage matches filled with energy, drama, thrill, and entertainment, the spotlight will shift to the Playoffs. The excitement will elevate further as Ahmedabad, the world’s largest cricket stadium, prepares to host the electrifying climax of IPL 2025,” said Saikia.
The decision to shift the playoffs from originally shortlisted venues Hyderabad and Kolkata came after a one-week suspension of the tournament mid-season. The IPL Governing Council cited weather conditions and logistical parameters as key reasons for finalising the revised playoff venues.
