Eden Gardens, situated in Kolkata, is on the list for major renovation 2025, before the T20 World Cup 2026.

This makeover might pressure defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to change home ground for occasional or all games.

Out of all the state venues, Tripura has brought itself into consideration as a possible new IPL venue for KKR franchise matches. The most-popular stadium of the state, Narsingarh, under construction since 2017, is almost ready. 

“IPL chairman Arun Kumar Dhumal recently visited the proposed international stadium at Narsingarh on the outskirts of the state capital. He said if the stadium is ready before February next year, it could be made the second home ground of KKR or else some other state will get the benefit,” TCA secretary Subarta Dey told PTI.
