In such a situation, spectators above the age of 18, who haven’t voted, could be barred from entering the stadium. The BCCI is unlikely to host the game without a crowd since the home-and-away format returned to the IPL after a gap of three years following the COVID-19 era. A renowned journalist of Jagran – Uttar Pradesh’s leading daily, confirmed that the match has been rescheduled to May 3. In a tweet post, he wrote:
“The Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings match in Lucknow on May 4 will now be held at 3.30 pm on the 3rd. There is an election to pick a new Mayor in Lucknow on the fourth.”
