IPL 2025 Update: A last-minute schedule change is underway for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The much-anticipated Match No. 19, which was set to feature the defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against the Lucknow Super Giants on April 6 (Sunday), might now be played in Guwahati instead of Kolkata.
Concerned Over Security
The change comes after the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) raised security concerns, leading to uncertainty about holding the match at Eden Gardens, the usual home ground for KKR. The shift could take place just days before the tournament kicks off, which is scheduled for April 4, 2025.
This potential change is causing a stir, with fans and teams alike awaiting final confirmation. The IPL’s organizing committee is expected to make an official announcement soon.
Guwahati Fans Might Witness Match
While Eden Gardens has been a historic venue for KKR, Guwahati could step in as a new venue for the match. Cricket fans in Guwahati might get the chance to witness high-octane IPL action earlier than expected.
With just two days left before the IPL 2025 begins, all eyes will be on the IPL organizers for clarity on this change.
