The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) has expressed disappointment after Bengaluru lost hosting rights for the IPL 2026 playoffs and final, and said, "The specific reasons...have not been formally communicated to KSCA." The remark came after the BCCI shifted the final from M Chinnaswamy Stadium to Narendra Modi Stadium. "We fully respect the...decision-making authority," KSCA added.
