In the past, IPL has adapted to changing circumstances during general elections. The 2009 edition was held entirely in South Africa, while the 2014 edition was partly hosted in the UAE due to elections.
In the 2019 edition continued in India despite occurring elections.
According to current reports, the IPL final is slated for May 26, and the T20 World Cup 2024 is scheduled to commence on June 1.
