The Cricket Club of India's (CCI) desperate bid to host the Indian Premier League's (IPL) final match has encountered several obstacles despite their attempts to galvanize support from government officials. The CCI, which hosts the Mumbai Indians franchise, has been eager to host the 2022 IPL final at their venue in Mumbai. However, the day before the event, there is still doubt about the suitability of their pitch for the game's climax.
The latest development comes after the BCCI decided to shift the game from Ahmedabad, leaving the CCI with a small window to prepare for the biggest cricketing event. CCI officials have actively lobbied local government authorities and have been assured that their pitch will be ready for the final, despite doubts from some quarters. The officials are hoping to impress the BCCI with their turnaround efforts, but time is running out for them to prepare a pitch that's up to standard for the high-profile match.
The uncertainty over the final's venue has been a major talking point in the lead-up to the game. The CCI's last-ditch attempt to host the final is a testament to their desire to showcase Mumbai and bring the IPL to their venue. It remains to be seen if their efforts will pay off or if they will have to watch the final between the Rajasthan Royals and the Gujarat Titans from the sidelines.
