Much to everyone`s delight, the Northeast is all set to debut as an Indian Premier League (IPL) host for the first time in the history of the marquee tournament, with two Rajasthan Royals` `home` games scheduled in Assam`s Guwahati in the upcoming month. The Assam Cricket Association (ACA) Stadium has been designated as one of the `home` venues for RR, which will take on the Punjab Kings on April 5 and Delhi Capitals on April 8.
"We were allotted two IPL matches of RR in 2020. But, the matches couldn`t happen due to the outbreak of COVID-19. We are happy two games have been scheduled here this year," ACA secretary Tridib Konwar told PTI.
