As per the revised itinerary of IPL 2018, Kings XI Punjab will play in Mohali on April 15, 19 and 23. Indore will benefit from the arrangement as they now have four matches in their kitty on May 4, 6, 12 and 14.

The IPL Governing council has decided to swap the dates of Kings XI Punjab’s home matches with the first three games being held in Mohali (in April) and the last four games in Indore (in May) owing to some logistical issues.

The reason for this swap is because the Chandigarh airport will remain closed from May 12-31 owing to renovation work.
