IPL 2026 ke schedule mein ek bada badlav aa gaya hai. Gujarat Titans aur Chennai Super Kings ke beech hone wale do matches swap ho gaye hain. News18 ke mutabiq, BCCI ne yeh faisla Ahmedabad mein hone wale civic polls ki wajah se liya hai.
Kya hua badlav? Venue aur timing swap
Pehle jo match 26 April ko Ahmedabad mein GT ke ghar khela jaana tha, woh ab Chennai shift ho gaya hai. Isi tarah, 21 May ko Chennai mein hone wala match ab Ahmedabad mein hoga. Moneycontrol ke report ke mutabiq, sirf venue hi nahi, balki match ki timings bhi badal gayi hain.
Seedhi baat hai, dono teams ke home advantage ka schedule ulta ho gaya hai. Jo match GT ko apne ghar khelna tha, woh ab CSK ke ghar ja raha hai, aur uska ulta.
Badlav ki wajah: Ahmedabad ki civic polls
Is badlav ki sabse badi wajah Ahmedabad shahar ki civic polls hain. Mint ki report ke mutabiq, election ki wajah se security aur logon ki movement par pabandi lag sakti thi. Isliye BCCI ne pehle hi schedule change karne ka faisla kar liya.
Yeh koi nayi baat nahi hai. IPL ke itihas mein aksar elections ya kisi aur wajah se matches ki jagah badli jaati rahi hai. BCCI chahti hai ki tournament smoothly chale aur kisi bhi tarah ki security ya logistical problem na aaye.
Fans par kya asar padega?
Is change ka sabse zyada asar dono shahron ke fans par padega.
- Ahmedabad ke fans jo 26 April ko GT ko ghar par dekhna chahte the, unhe ab wait karna hoga 21 May tak.
- Chennai ke fans jo 21 May ko CSK ko ghar par dekhna chahte the, unhe match ab 26 April ko dekhna hoga.
- Match ki timings bhi badalne se TV par dekhne walon ko bhi naye schedule ka dhyan rakhna hoga.
Firstpost ne bhi is badlav ki report karte hue kaha hai ki BCCI ne official announcement kar di hai aur naya schedule jald hi jari kar dega.
Hamaari Baat: Schedule change zaroori tha, lekin fans ka nuksan
Hamari nazar mein, BCCI ka yeh faisla bilkul sahi hai. Civic polls ke time par bade cricket stadium ke aas-paas security arrangement karna mushkil ho jaata hai. Logon ki bhari bheed, traffic jam, aur police force ki kami jaise masle paida ho sakte hain. Tournament ki smooth running ke liye pehle se plan change karna hi behtar tha.
Lekin, iska ek dusra pahlu bhi hai. Fans jo pehle se tickets book kar chuke hain, unke liye yeh badlav pareshani ka sabab ban sakta hai. Travel plans cancel karne pad sakte hain. Hamari BCCI se appeal hai ki wo fans ke liye refund ya rescheduling ka clear policy jaldi se jari kare. Tournament ka schedule important hai, lekin fans se bhi zyada important hain.
Aakhir mein, cricket hai toh fans hain. Unki convenience ka bhi khayal rakhna chahiye.
