LSG vs KKR Match Reschedule:: The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) has made a major change in the schedule for IPL 2025, the anticipated match between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) was originally scheduled for April 6, 2025. Now it will take place on April 8, 2025, in Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
Reason for LSG vs KKR Match Reschedule:
Since April 6 will be observed as Rama Navami (a major religious celebration in Kolkata), the Kolkata police asked that the LSG & KKR match in Kolkata be postponed so they could make necessary deployments for the festival.

The Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) forwarded the police’s request to the BCCI resulting in the match now being scheduled for April 8, 2025, and commencing at 3:30 PM.
New IPL 2025 Schedule for April 6 and April 8
With the alteration, April 6, 2025, will now have only a single IPL match, rather than two. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will welcome the Gujarat Titans at 7:30 PM as planned for Match No. 20.
April 8, however, will have a double-header, with the postponed LSG vs KKR match being held in the afternoon. This will be followed by the originally planned evening match between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings in New Chandigarh (Match No. 22).
Impact of the Schedule Change
Despite the rescheduling of the LSG vs KKR match, it has no impact on the remaining IPL 2025 schedule. The game will be held in Eden Gardens, Kolkata, with the new time slot ensuring a better-behaved match for both teams and the city authorities despite the celebration going on.
