"We will be hosting an IPL game. It's formal now. There were rumours (we would get one game), but it was hard to predict. We are fully prepared. We are thrilled and will put up a great show," Parikh told PTI.
The Eliminator was originally scheduled to be held at Chennai's M A Chidambaram Stadium but due to the inability of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association to host a single IPL game this season due to a dispute with the municipal authorities over the use of three stands, a new venue had to be found out and CCI's Brabourne Stadium fitted the bill.
