BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced that the dates of IPL 2026 fixtures between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been swapped due to municipal corporation elections in Ahmedabad and other regions of Gujarat, slated to be held on April 26.
Apart from Ahmedabad, municipal corporation elections will also be held in Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Jamnagar, Karamsad-Anand, Gandhidham, Nadiad, Navsari, Porbandar, Mehsana, Morbi, Vapi and Surendranagar. The counting of votes will take place on April 28.
According to the revised itinerary in a statement issued by BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, the afternoon clash between GT and CSK was originally set to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 26. But it will now be held on the same date at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The match, though, will retain its original start time of 3:30 PM IST. Consequently, the reverse fixture between the two sides, which was scheduled to be played in the evening in Chennai on May 21, will now be hosted in Ahmedabad and the original start time of 7:30 PM IST.
