KKR Forced to Reschedule Home Games due to Elections

Kolkata: This may come as a bit of disappointment to the fans of KKR as the team won’t be playing any matches on their home turf at the iconic Eden Gardens during the period of April 12th to April 25th.

The decision comes in wake of the Kolkata municipal elections that are set to take place on the 18th of April. This has ruled out the possibility of the boys in purple playing any game at home during the mentioned period.

Chennai Super Kings, who were originally to host Knight Riders at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on April 30, will now play them on April 28 instead. Knight Riders' home games against Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils, meanwhile, has been pushed back - they will face Super Kings on April 30 and Daredevils on May 7.

The revised schedule has also led to the Rajasthan Royals hosting their match against the Mumbai Indians on 14th of April being rescheduled to 8 PM. Rajasthan’s clash with Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Brabourne stadium has been advanced to 4 PM on May 7.
