The changes will accommodate the blackout dates in specific venues on the days there is polling in that city or that state, and on May 16, the day of counting across the country. Modi suggested that, if necessary, the IPL may be held in additional venues - it was originally scheduled to be held in nine venues - and said a detailed meeting on the tournament's security would be held next week.As per the revised schedule, the opening match will now be held in Mumbai, instead of Jaipur, sources said. Nagpur, Indore, Cuttack and Rajkot are the new venues under consideration apart from the nine original venues.
