The schedule for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been announced today, with MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings taking on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the season opener of the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). IPL announced the fixtures for the first 21 matches today.
