New Delhi. The teams of current champions Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants were scheduled to fight in Kolkata on 6 April in IPL 2025. But now the venue has been changed. This match will now be played in Guwahati instead of Kolkata. Bengal Cricket Association (CAB) president Snehashish Ganguly said that KKR’s domestic match against LSG on April 6 is scheduled to be transferred to Guwahati. Because the police have expressed their inability to provide security for the Indian Premier League (IPL) due to ‘Ram Navami’ in the city on this day.
BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari had announced that more than 20,000 ceremonies are being held in West Bengal to celebrate the festival. Ganguly told PTI, ‘We have informed the Cricket Board of India (BCCI) to conduct the match later. But there is no scope to conduct this match in the city later and now I am coming to hear that it is being transferred to Guwahati. However, the official statement from the IPL is yet to come.

In the 2024 session of IPL, the date of IPL match between KKR and Rajasthan Royals had to be changed due to lack of security arrangements on Ram Navami. Ganguly said, “I held several rounds of talks with the Kolkata police and he said that he will not be able to provide adequate security that day.” He said on Tuesday, “If there is no police protection, it will be impossible to handle and manage the crowd of 65,000 spectators.”
KKR will be captained by Ajinkya Rahane while Venkatesh Iyer will take responsibility for the sub -captaincy. Last year, KKR won the IPL Trophy under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer. This time Shreyas is not with the team. He has not been retained by the franchise.
