The reason for the change is the elections in Gujarat later this month.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday (April 13) announced a change in the schedule of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The venues for the Gujarat Titans versus Chennai Super Kings matches have been swapped.
As per the original schedule, GT and CSK were set to square off on April 26 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. But the clash will now take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, with 03:30 PM IST being the starting time.
Accordingly, the reverse fixture between the two teams, scheduled to be played on May 21 in the evening, will now be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, with the match set to begin at 07:30 PM IST.
The decision was made due to logistical challenges arising from the municipal corporation elections in Gujarat on April 26.
"The change has been necessitated in view of the municipal corporation elections in Ahmedabad and other parts of Gujarat scheduled on April 26, 2026," the statement from the BCCI media release read.
Gujarat Titans are currently fifth in the IPL 2026 standings (2 wins, 2 losses), while Chennai Super Kings are occupying the ninth spot with only one victory from four outings.
