Since Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are playing in the highly anticipated IPL 2024 cricket match at Chepauk Stadium, the metro system in Chennai, run by Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL), will run longer today. The game is expected to begin at 7:30 p.m.
CMRL announced an extension of metro services in order to handle the flood of supporters making their way to the stadium. Trains will operate from 11:00 pm on March 22 until 1 am on March 23 in order to facilitate smooth travel and prevent crowding.
The IPL 2024 season is starting today, and the enthusiasm is real. The 10 clubs from the previous season will be back in the league, where the reigning champion Chennai Super Kings will look to hold onto their crown.
In a statement, CMRL noted the regular traffic surrounding the stadium and recommended travelers to buy metro tickets in advance to prevent delays. Tickets can be purchased in person at any metro station ticket counter or online via a variety of platforms, including the CMRL mobile app, Paytm, Phonepe, WhatsApp, and ONDC.
A special single journey ticket priced at Rs. 50 will be made available by CMRL in anticipation of increased usage following the event. This ticket can be used to exit at any metro station. The ticket counters for Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. M. G. Ramachandran Central Metro and Govt Estate Metro will have these tickets accessible.
The IPL 2024 matches will be televised on Star Sports Network TV networks for cricket fans throughout India. The JioCinema app and website also provide live streaming for the matches, with commentary available in 12 languages, including Bengali, English, Hindi, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Haryanvi, Gujarati, and Bhojpuri.
