The usual timing of this year’s IPL of the evening games is 7:30 PM, but due to cultural activities, including Bollywood star’s performances which will begin at 6:30 and will run for 40 minutes, BCCI decided to change the timing from 7:30 to 8 PM. While the toss will be held at 7:30 PM.

“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 organizing a closing ceremony for the IPL, and it wants to celebrate the occasion in a grand fashion,” a source in the BCCI told TOI on Thursday.
