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.
