In a huge blow for the fans of Karnataka Cricket and the Karnataka State Cricket Association, the state government denied the permission of the Chinnaswamy Stadium, who returned on June 4 to host the upcoming ICC Women’s World Cup matches in 2025.
The black day in the history of Chinnaswamy Stadium came after winning its first title in the IPL. On June 4, the Chinnaswamy Stadium was marked as a day to arrange a victory parade for the RCB, and the ground was washed away with more crowd than expected.
The organizers were not designed to manage such a huge crowd; It led a massacre and resulted in a stampede situation, as 11 people were reported to be dead on the day of happiness. As a result, there was immense criticism for event organizers, RCB management, KSCA and police officers involved in the event.
