This year, the seventh installment for the Indian Premier League or the Pepsi IPL as it is popularly known as, will see a few changes in its hosting format.
Due to the fact that IPL's 7th Season was clashing with the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections taking place in India during the months of April-May, the Home Minister of India, Sushil Kumar Shinde denied the additional security provisions for hosting the tournament in the different states of the country and some of the matches will be held in the various cities of UAE.
The IPL Season 7 commences from the 16th of April in Abu Dhabi with the Kolkata Knight Riders playing it out with the defending champions of the last season, the Mumbai Indians and comes to a close on the 1st of June in Mumbai.
