Matches were stopped at the Chinnaswamy Stadium after a stampede outside it during RCB’s IPL victory celebration. However, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) had sought permission to hold the Vijay Hazare match without spectators.

The stampede occurred due to celebrations organised by the RCB management, following their triumph in the IPL 2025. It led to the loss of the lives of 11 people and left several injured at the venue
