Heads up, cricket fans! The BCCI just announced some changes to the IPL 2024 schedule. Here’s the lowdown:
The Big Switch:
- The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were originally set to face the Rajasthan Royals (RR) on April 17th at Eden Gardens. Get ready to mark your calendars a day earlier because this match has been bumped up to April 16th!
- The Gujarat Titans (GT) versus Delhi Capitals (DC) clash, originally scheduled for April 16th at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, will now be played on April 17th.
Why the Shuffle?
The BCCI hasn’t officially confirmed the reason for the switch, but news outlets are buzzing with speculation. Apparently, it might have something to do with the upcoming Ram Navami festival.

Here’s the inside scoop: Kolkata Police reportedly struggled to guarantee adequate security for the KKR vs RR match, considering it would be their third home game in a short span. They also cited security deployments for the upcoming elections.
What About the Teams?
No worries, KKR is still playing their home game at Eden Gardens! They’re currently in Visakhapatnam gearing up for their match against the Delhi Capitals today (April 3rd).
What about tickets?
No worries were mentioned regarding tickets. We can assume they’ll remain valid for the new dates. But it’s always a good idea to check with the official IPL channels or KKR/GT for any updates.
The Race Heats Up!
This schedule tweak shouldn’t disrupt the excitement too much. Both KKR and GT are off to a strong start, with KKR sitting pretty at the top of the table and GT holding their own in the fourth position.
