The 17th season of IPL is currently going on and before this the schedule till April 7 was released. Recently, after the announcement of Lok Sabha election dates, the entire schedule of IPL was finalized. In such a situation, now on Monday, April 1, big news has come out that the match of Kolkata Knight Riders can be rescheduled or the venue of the match can be changed. This information is about the match to be played between KKR and Rajasthan Royals on April 17 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This means that due to this match being held in the middle of the season, there may be some changes in the schedule.
Why will the schedule of this match be changed?
According to a report, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is considering this. All concerned authorities, both franchises, state cricket associations and broadcasters have been informed about this. This discussion has started because the festival of Ram Navami will be celebrated across the country on 17th April. For this reason, officials are worried about whether proper security will be provided in the IPL match on that day or not. Meanwhile, Lok Sabha elections will also begin. Because of this, BCCI can take a decision regarding that match soon.
The report also states that BCCI and Bengal Cricket Association are in touch with Kolkata Police on this matter. The final decision has not been taken yet but this change is possible. For this, BCCI has informed both the franchises and broadcasters about the possibility of change in the schedule.
