IPL 2018: RCB's home game against DD rescheduled due to Karnataka polls

New Delhi: The Karnataka Assembly election on May 12 has forced a scheduling change for the Royal Challengers Bangalore's home against Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League.

The two teams were originally scheduled to play at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on May 12 but now that has been moved to Delhi.

RCB's home game against Daredevils will now be on April 21.

The fourth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will kick off on April 7 with a match between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium. The final will be played at the same venue on May 27.

RCB will begin their campaign on April 8 with a match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. The Virat Kohli-led team finished at a disappointing eighth place last season.
