Reason Behind the Rescheduling
Kolkata Police advised the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) to shift the match due to city-wide festivities, which require a significant deployment of police personnel for crowd management and security. BCCI has accommodated the request, ensuring smooth operations for both the IPL and local authorities.
Updated Schedule Adjustments
- April 6: Now a single-match day, featuring Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans at 7:30 PM (Match 20) as originally scheduled.
- April 8: A double-header match day, with:
- KKR vs LSG at 3:30 PM in Kolkata.
- Punjab Kings vs Chennai Super Kings (Match 22) at 7:30 PM in New Chandigarh.
The rest of the IPL 2025 schedule remains unchanged. Fans in Kolkata will now witness KKR in action on a weekday afternoon, while the high-voltage clash between PBKS and CSK will continue as planned in the evening.
