Due to security reasons, Royal Challengers Bengaluru cancelled their only practice session before the IPL 2024 Eliminator against the Rajasthan Royals. RCB were slated to practice at the Gujarat College ground in Ahmedabad on Tuesday to prepare for the knockout match, but the team decided to cancel it without any official reason. The Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, went ahead with their regular nets session at the same venue. However, there was no press conference, which is unusual on the eve of a critical IPL knockout match.
The Narendra Modi Stadium, the Gujarat Cricket Association’s primary offering, was unavailable on Tuesday for RR and RCB due to the IPL Qualifier 1 between Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Gujarat College ground was given as an alternative to RCB and RR.
Bengali daily Anandabazar Patrika quoted Gujarat Police officials to hint that the primary reason behind RCB cancelling their practice session and both sides not holding a press conference was the security threat to Virat Kohli. The Gujarat Police arrested four men from the Ahmedabad airport on Monday night on suspicion of terror activities. The police reportedly recovered arms, suspicious videos and text messages after searching the hideout of the four accused.
