KKR-RR game on April 17 might be rescheduled

On April 17, the Kolkata Knight Riders’ home game at Eden Gardens is in question. They are slated to play the Rajasthan Royals on that day, however the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering shifting or delaying the game. All parties involved, including the franchisees, state associations, and broadcasters, have hinted at this.

The unpredictability is related to the Rama Navami festivities. This yearly celebration is widely celebrated across the country, and officials are worried whether they can provide appropriate protection for the IPL game that night. Furthermore, the country is holding a general election at the same time. In view of these factors, the BCCI is considering postponing the game.The BCCI and Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) are reportedly in contact with the Kolkata police. Although no final decision has been reached, the BCCI has consulted with the two franchises and broadcasters regarding the possibility of a schedule modification.
