    IPL 2026: 'Few Demands Of KSCA Were Considered Unacceptable,' Say Sources

    Karnataka State Cricket Association: Bengaluru's M. Chinnaswamy Stadium lost the hosting rights of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 final, scheduled on May 31, after a series of contentious demands and organisational concerns from local authorities and stakeholders.

    According to sources, IPL officials remained in constant touch with the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), but negotiations broke down due to what were deemed “too high and unacceptable” demands, including requests for passes for members and politicians.

    The situation was further complicated by reports of ticket black marketing, which raised serious integrity and logistical concerns. As a result, the decision was taken to shift the marquee final to Ahmedabad, ensuring smoother operations and tighter control over arrangements for one of the tournament’s biggest fixtures.
