The concluded IPL 2024 season witnessed the Kolkata Knight Riders emerging as the last man standing as they defeated the Sunrisers Hyderabad in a low-scoring affair at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The matches played throughout the season were hosted at some of the country’s premier International-level cricket stadiums.
The IPL 2024 season was played through ten stadiums and three additional venues throughout the country, and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a gesture of appreciation for the unsung heroes of the Indian Premier League.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India honorary secretary, Jay Shah, has announced that the groundsmen and pitch curators of all the venues featured throughout the IPL 2024 season will receive prize money as a gesture of appreciation for the quality of pitches provide during the tournament.
He thanked all the members involved and made sure the matches went smoothly. He also appreciated them for working in adverse weather conditions.
The unsung heroes of our successful T20 season are the incredible ground staff who worked tirelessly to provide brilliant pitches, even in difficult weather conditions.
The IPL has 10 regular venues; Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, and Jaipur, who will receive Rs 25 lakh each as a gift of appreciation for providing excellent pitches throughout the league.
This year’s additional venues included Guwahati, Visakhapatnam, and Dharamsala. While Guwahati was Rajasthan Royal’s supplementary venue, Visakhapatnam hosted Delhi Capital’s first leg of home fixtures.
Dharamshala served as Kings XI Punjab’s second base. The additional venues would receive Rs 10 lakhs for their services.
