New Delhi, Jan 27 After reports emerged of the new Sardar Patel Stadium being built in Ahmedabad as the frontrunner to host the final of the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has confirmed that the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai instead will hold the title-clash. The Indian Premier League (IPL) governing council on Monday decided against changing timings of the night games from 8 pm to 7.30 pm despite pressure from a few stakeholders. In a noble gesture, the BCCI will have an All Stars Game between all top international players before the start of IPL for a charitable cause. "There will be no change in the timing of IPL night games. It will start at 8 pm like earlier years. There was discussion about 7.30 pm but it's not happening," BCCI president Sourav Ganguly told reporters after the meeting. "We will have only five doubleheaders (4pm and 8 pm) this time," Ganguly said. "IPL final will be held in Mumbai," Ganguly said. Earlier, speaking to IANS, sources in the IPL Governing Council.
