Duleep Trophy Final Likely Moving to Bengaluru or Chennai
· Sports · Times of India, Sportstar, Cricbuzz
The BCCI is expected to move the Duleep Trophy final from its Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru to either the M Chinnaswamy Stadium or the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The board aims to allow spectators for the final, which is scheduled for September 6-10, as the current venue only hosts matches behind closed doors. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed the board is exploring options to accommodate fans. The Karnataka State Cricket Association has been consulted, though court-mandated protocols for large crowds remain a factor in the final decision.
Why it matters
Moving the venue allows for a larger live audience, increasing the commercial and fan engagement potential of the tournament's concluding match.
