Big Bash League's Chennai Plan Set to Be Unveiled Shortly
The MA Chidambaram Stadium is known for being the home-ground to Chennai Super Kings. But soon, this venue will be hosting another tournament, as an announcement might be made by the Indian Prime Minister. The first match of the upcoming BBL edition is likely to take place in Chennai.
The Big Bash League is all set to arrive in India, as an announcement for the same is likely to happen soon. Indian fans will have the opportunity to witness the action of Australian cricket in India, which has made things quite exciting. For a long time, there were discussions on having a few games of this tournament in India.
And now it seems that something like that is finally about to take place. The opening match of the upcoming edition of the Big Bash League is likely to take place in Chennai. This might be confirmed within a few days by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.
Reports suggest that the Indian Prime Minister will be visiting Sydney in the coming days, where he will be meeting with the Australian President. While the main objective of the same will be to improve the bilateral relations between the two countries, it will also focus on the Big Bash League opener to take place in India.
Our Take
The Big Bash League coming to India will be a massive boost for both countries. Fans will be present in huge numbers for the opener of this tournament. Moreover, we could also see the IPL teams competing with BBL teams soon, which could be a massive move. If the opener of the tournament goes successful, there are chances that more games will be played at the Indian turf in the near future.
