IPL 2021: Fans can watch SRH vs MI and RCB vs DC games simultaneously - Here's how

For the very first time in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) two matches of the league stage will be played simultaneously and fans have been worried since then about, how and where they will be able to catch both the games at the same time.

On Friday, October 8, the final day of the league stage in IPL 2021, Match No 55 - Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians and Match No 56 - Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Capitals will start at the same time, i.e., 7.30 pm IST.

The BCCI didn't reveal the exact reason for the change in the timings but it is believed that it's done to avoid any unfair advantage to any of the teams playing later.

Many reports claimed that with the two teams playing the last game and if there is a scenario of NRR to be achieved by any of the teams, they have an advantage as they know exactly what to do to claim that advantage in their favour.

However, that condition might not come into play this season as the two teams fighting for the fourth spot, i.e., Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders are playing one day next to each other, thus the former will know what exactly to do if KKR win or lose since their NRR is superior to that of the defending champions.

Now on Wednesday, the host broadcaster replying to a user revealed on which channels will the SRH vs MI will be telecasted and on which ones the RCB vs DC will.
