- The D’Cunha Commission found the stadium’s design unsuitable for large-scale events, leading authorities to stall permissions for marquee matches
- The BCCI has given the KSCA until Saturday to secure state government approval for four Women’s World Cup games at Chinnaswamy Stadium or risk relocating them
