Last year, in the match between KKR and RR held in Kolkata, Rajasthan won by 9 wickets.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced to reschedule two matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals, which was earlier scheduled to be held at the Eden on April 17, 2024, will now be played a day earlier i.e. on April 16, 2024. At the same time, the match between Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals to be played on April 16 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will now be played on April 17.

Kolkata Police told Bengal Cricket Association that, due to Ram Navami and Lok Sabha elections, there will not be much force for security on April 17. For this reason the match was rescheduled.
