Before the Vijay Hazare Trophy, disappointing news has come out for the cricket fans in Bengaluru. Star batsman Virat Kohli will no longer be seen playing in the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Due to security reasons, the venue of all the Vijay Hazare Trophy matches to be held in Bengaluru has been changed. Now these matches will be played at BCCI Center of Excellence instead of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

This decision has been taken on the instructions of the Karnataka government. An official of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has confirmed this. Due to the change, the match between Delhi and Andhra Pradesh on Wednesday will also be played at the new venue. Both Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant are expected to play in this match, but fans will not be able to see them in the stadium.

Entire plan changed due to security reasons

The Karnataka Home Ministry had informed KSCA about the security concerns on Tuesday morning. After this, the decision was taken immediately and informed to all the concerned teams. Not only the matches, but the pre-match training sessions of both the teams will now be held at the BCCI Center of Excellence.

The biggest thing is that spectators will not be allowed entry in any match of Vijay Hazare Trophy to be held in Bengaluru. This means that fans will not be able to go to the stadium and see Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and other star players playing. This decision has been taken completely keeping the security arrangements in mind.

There was already tremendous excitement about Virat Kohli’s return to domestic cricket. After almost 15 years, he is playing in Vijay Hazare Trophy. In such a situation, the fans who were expecting his performance at Chinnaswamy Stadium have got a big shock. Now all eyes will be on how the Delhi team performs in the changed conditions and how Virat Kohli starts in domestic ODI cricket.

IPL 2026: BCCI has not yet released any official schedule for IPL 2026. However, this time the Karnataka government has taken a big initiative and given relief news to the fans of Bengaluru. State Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has made it clear that IPL matches will be organized in the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium next season also. This statement has come at a time when questions were being raised on the safety of the stadium after the overcrowding incident of last season.

Big decision of Karnataka government

Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, who came to cast his vote in the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) elections on Sunday, spoke to the media. He said that the state government will not send IPL out of Bengaluru under any circumstances. He gave a statement, “We will not shift the IPL to another place. Chinnaswamy Stadium is the pride of Karnataka and the matches will be held here.” His statement clearly indicates that Bengaluru will remain its home venue in IPL 2026 also.

There was an accident in the victory parade of RCB

Last season, RCB created history and won its first IPL title. There was a huge celebration in Bengaluru after the team’s victory. This joy turned into pain when a stampede broke out during the victory parade organized outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium. 11 people were killed in this stampede, while about 50 fans were injured. After this, serious questions started being raised on the security arrangements and crowd management of the stadium. Even BCCI did not organize any major international match or tournament on this ground after the accident. Women’s World Cup matches were also shifted from Bengaluru to other cities.

Is RCB looking for a new home ground?

It was claimed in social media and some reports that RCB management is considering Pune as its possible home ground, so that any controversy can be avoided in future. However, after the latest statement of the state government, the picture has become quite clear that RCB is not going anywhere from Bengaluru.

All eyes towards BCCI

Now the ball is in the court of BCCI, which will release the official schedule of IPL 2026 in the coming weeks, but after this announcement by the Karnataka government, it can be considered almost certain that the fans of Bengaluru will once again be able to watch RCB matches on their home ground.

In September this year, Women’s ODI World Cup (Women’s ODI World Cup 2025) is going to be organized. The tournament will start from 30 September and run till 2 November, in which the top-8 teams of the world will be participating. India and Sri Lanka are going to host the World Cup, but a bad news has come out about 2 months before the start of the World Cup. According to Cricbuzz, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has not yet taken permission from the Government of Karnataka for organizing the World Cup matches at Chinnaswamy Stadium.

KSCA has not yet taken permission from the state government, it is a matter of concern, because the first match of the tournament is to be played here between India and Sri Lanka. A total of 4 matches have been allotted to the Chinnaswamy Stadium throughout the tournament, one of which is also a semi -final match.

The reason for uncertainty for the World Cup matches is the cause of the Bangalore stampede in June, in which 11 people lost their lives. After that tragic incident, the Karnataka government has not yet allowed Chinnaswamy Stadium to organize matches. Even the Karnataka State Cricket Association has had to shift the Maharaja T20 tournament.

According to the cricbage, an official in KSCA said, “We have written a letter to the state government and are waiting for the reply. It is not that the government has refused to organize the matches. If there was any such policy, then they do not organize the Maharaja T20 tournament in Maysuru. So we are waiting for the time being.

India vs Sri Lanka match will be played on 30 September at Chinnaswamy Stadium. Apart from this, England vs South Africa on 3 October and India vs Bangladesh match on 26 October are also to be played here. The second semi -final match has also been hosted by Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Bengaluru stampede rcb: RCB’s difficulties are increasing in the case of stampede at Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium. The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) said on Tuesday that the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is responsible for the huge crowd gathered in Bengaluru to celebrate the Indian Premier League (IPL) victory on June 4 on 4 June. 11 people were killed and many others were injured in this accident.

According to the order issued by CAT, RCB suddenly posted the celebrations on social media after winning the IPL, causing huge crowds to gather outside the stadium and the police did not get time to make necessary arrangements.

Announcement of celebration without permission
According to NDTV, the tribunal said in its order that RCB neither took any prior permission from the police nor informed them. The team suddenly shared information on social media, which led to a huge crowd of people. It was also said in the order that the police had only 12 hours, which cannot be considered enough for such a big event.

CAT defends police
CAT called the police criticism inappropriate and said, “Policemen are also humans. They are neither God, nor magicians, nor they have a lamp of Aladdin to complete any work immediately.” The tribunal admitted that the police did not have enough time due to sudden information, so they could not be convicted.

Relief to IPS officer Vikas Kumar
In this order, CAT also canceled the suspension of IPS officer Vikas Kumar Vikas. The central government suspended him two days after the accident. But the tribunal termed it wrong and said that this suspension period would be added to their service. Vikas Kumar was then Inspector General of Bangalore West Zone and Additional Commissioner of Police and was in charge of the security of the stadium.

He wrote to G. Satyavanti, Secretary, Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms, that millions of people have to come to the assembly, since there is a shortage of security personnel, it will be difficult to make security.

Separating himself from organizing the program, the Chief Minister said, “The incident happened near the Cricket Stadium, I have nothing to do with it.

Bhoomik was a student of engineering

21 -year -old Bhoomik Laxman, who lost his life in the Bangalore stampede, was a last year student of Engineering and came with friends to be a part of the celebration outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium. The crowd suddenly became uncontrollable and he lost his life in the stampede. A total of 11 people, including a 14 -year -old girl, died in this accident.

Questions raised on administrative lapse

In fact, after the RCB’s IPL (IPL) victory on June 04, there was a celebration inside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, while outside people were putting their lives at risk to get a glimpse of their favorite cricketers. Questions arose that RCB celebrated the victory in a hurry, but the police and administration were not fully ready. The situation deteriorated so much that the Karnataka High Court had to intervene and the report of the accident has been summoned by June 10. Meanwhile, the BCCI has separated itself from this entire controversy.
