Rejecting the official broadcaster's request for a change in match timings, the Board of control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to  go with the conventional time slots. The three-time title-winners and defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) will take on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the opening match of the 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), starting April 7. 

"Defending champions Mumbai Indians will take on two-time winners Chennai Super Kings in what promises to be a marquee opening game of Indian Premier League 2018, to be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Saturday, April 7, 2018," the BCCI said in a statement.

Two months before the start of the fresh season, the league official broadcaster, Star India, proposed a change in match timings. However, IPL franchises opposed the proposed timings, claiming the new schedule will result in losing TV audience.

The broadcaster had proposed the 8 PM matches to be shifted to 7 PM, while matches scheduled for 4 PM will be postponed to 5:30 PM. (Read full story)

The first match on April 7 will be held at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, which will also see the return of two-time winners CSK from a two-year ban owing to involvement in corruption.

The venues for eliminator and qualifier 2 have not been confirmed yet while the qualifier 1 and the final will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 22 and 27 respectively.

As per the fixtures posted on the IPL website, there will be 48 evening matches and 12 afternoon starts. The double headers timings remained unchanged, while the opening ceremony will take place in Mumbai on April 6.

In its 11th year, the tournament's first doubleheaders will be held on April 8, with Delhi Daredevils hosting Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders facing Royal challengers Bangalore at home.

Rajasthan Royals, also coming into the fold after a two-year suspension, will open their campaign Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Telangana capital on April 9.
