Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) home match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on April 6 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, has been rescheduled, the BCCI announced on Friday. The KKR vs LSG clash has now been moved to April 8.
It is to be noted that April 6 will now be a single-header with Sunrisers Hyderabad hosting Gujarat Titans at 7:30 PM IST as originally scheduled. April 8 will not be a double-header match day, featuring the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants fixture at 3:30 PM IST.
The evening game on the same day will be between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings in New Chandigarh as per the original schedule.
Why KKR vs LSG clash was rescheduled?
The decision follows a request from Kolkata Police to the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) regarding the deployment of personnel across the city owing to Ram Navami festivities. April 6 will be celebrated as Ram Navami this year.
