If you have not been living in a cave for the last month, you would have known by now that the IPL has been shifted to South Africa. Here are the new venues:
- Newlands, Cape Town
- St George’s Park, Port Elizabeth
- Kingsmead, Durban
- SuperSport Park, Centurion
- Buffalo Park, East London
- New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg
- De Beers Diamond Oval, Kimberley
- OUTsurance Oval, Bloemfontein
Here is a Google Map of the venues. Kimberley is to the left of Bloemfontein and Centurion is just north of Johannesburg.
As you can see from the picture below (South Africa superimposed on India), South Africa is a smaller country than India. So the travelling for the players will be reduced significantly.
