BCCI Likely To Give Strict Decision For All Teams After Bengaluru Stampede

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to bring in new regulations which will require all the teams to obtain prior approval from the relevant authorities before conducting any victory celebration. The decision will come after RCB’s victory celebration turned fatal due to the Bengaluru stampede that happened near the M Chinnaswamny Stadium. The stampede claimed 11 lives and left 30 people injured.

RCB had won their maiden IPL title after defeating Punjab Kings in the final which was held in Ahmedabad. The investigations continue and the BCCI even appointed a three-member committee to establish guidelines for post-tournament celebrations.
