Will RCB Return to Bengaluru? KSCA President Venkatesh Prasad Speaks
Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) president Venkatesh Prasad said on Thursday that Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) may not be confident about hosting their IPL 2026 home games in Bengaluru. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium recently received clearance from the government to host international and IPL matches, months after a stampede incident followed RCB's title win in 2025. However, RCB has yet to confirm to the BCCI that they will host their home games in the city. The BCCI stated that the franchise must inform them of their decision by January 27. Prasad emphasised that the onus is entirely on RCB to advance the dialogue with the state government.
