Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are having yet another great campaign in the Indian Premier League (IPL). They kick-started their campaign with a staggering win against Delhi Capitals. But after that suffered a loss against Chennai Super Kings (CSK).They then displayed two brilliant performances as they pounded Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets and then outshined Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 1 run. In their last game against Punjab Kings, they suffered a disappointing 2-wicket loss. They are next slated to lock horns with Rajasthan Royals (RR) on April 19th.The change in the fixture will leave the KL Rahul-led side with a one-day gap between matches as they lock horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at home on May 1. This isn’t the first instance when the IPL schedule has been changed to avoid any clash with the election dates. Back in 2009, the league was entirely conducted in South Africa due to the general elections.
