KXIP's home leg to now kick off in Mohali on April 8

Mohali: Kings XI Punjab on Tuesday announced a small change in their Season 11 home schedule as they will play their first three matches at the iconic Mohali stadium and then cap it off with four matches at Indore. The side was originally slated to play their initial matches at Indore but logistical difficulties forced a change in the calendar.
However, fans from either venue won't be too disappointed. Mohali, known to be quite a batting paradise, will get to see big hitters from Kings XI Punjab competing with those from MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings, among others. It will be an ideal scenario for KXIP's strikers like Chris Gayle, Aaron Finch, Yuvraj Singh and others, as well since they will have the ideal conditions to get going.
Indore fans will now get to witness four matches instead of three. Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore will be clashing with the Kings in Indore.
"It is unfortunate that the dates had to be shuffled so late in the day," said Kings XI Punjab CEO Satish Menon. "However, external difficulties always have to be worked around. Despite the unforeseen circumstances, we're excited by the prospect of starting off in Mohali."
