Why was the KKR vs LSG match rescheduled?
The KKR vs LSG match was rescheduled due to security concerns raised by local authorities in Kolkata ahead of the Ram Navami celebrations.

BCCI rescheduled the match to Tuesday, April 8, 2025. It will now be played in the afternoon slot at 3:30 PM IST at the original venue, Eden Gardens, followed by the Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Chennai Super Kings (CSK) match in the evening.
