The Kolkata Knight Riders’ upcoming IPL match against Lucknow Super Giants on April 6 has been shifted to Guwahati from Kolkata due to security concerns arising from the ‘Ram Navami’ celebrations. The decision to relocate the match was confirmed by Cricket Association of Bengal president Snehasish Ganguly following the announcement of extensive processions by the BJP in Kolkata. The match between KKR and LSG, owned by RPSG Group chairman Sanjiv Goenka, was eagerly awaited and was expected to draw a large crowd at the stadium, with both teams having strong local fan bases. The change in venue to Guwahati will ensure the safety and security of players and spectators amidst the festive atmosphere in Kolkata during the ‘Ram Navami’ celebrations.
