IPL 3 Opening Match in Mumbai

The Indian Premier League's opening match was on Friday shifted from Hyderabad to Mumbai.

Decision was taken owing to the political unrest in Andhra Pradesh over the Telangana issue.

"It remains a Deccan Chargers vs Kolkata Knight Riders match but instead of Hyderabadb, it would be held in Mumbai. The opening game, the opening ceremony and the opening gala dinner (on March 11) are very important for us. People from all over the world are coming and we are going to make sure that everything is in order. We don't want to take any chances," Modi said.

"There are no changes to other matches, everything looks fine. We have worked it out with franchises and the teams and decided that match would be held in Mumbai," he added.
