IPL 2024: Match between Rajasthan and KKR will not be played in Kolkata, shocking reason revealed

Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 has started. The 32nd match of this season will be played between two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). This match is to be played on 17 April at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. But clouds of crisis are looming in this match. According to reports, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering holding this match at some other place or rescheduling it.

Actually, due to Ram Navami and Lok Sabha elections in 2024, the Bengal administration is confused about providing adequate security in this match. In such a situation, a big problem has arisen in front of BCCI. The board is continuously discussing this matter with the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB). The Board has already indicated this to the franchisees and broadcasters.

This match may be postponed for one or two days, or BCCI may arrange for it to take place in an alternate venue. Regarding this matter, no decision has been made in finality yet. The BCCI has already created the league schedule in two stages due to the elections. The board first released the schedule for the first 21 matches in this tournament. The schedule for the remaining 53 matches was then released, following the announcement of the Lok Sabha election dates.
