Ahmedabad To Host IPL 2026 Final Instead Of Bengaluru

The BCCI is rotating IPL finals like a captain’s rotation policy—and it’s frankly unsustainable. Ahmedabad gets the showpiece after Bengaluru’s consistent delivery because Gujarat’s political clout demanded it. What’s ignored: moving the final costs franchises millions in logistics and denies Bengaluru’s fanbase the continuity they’ve earned. This isn’t meritocratic scheduling. It’s administrative whimsy dressed as equity. We expect better.
