The Ranji Trophy final between Karnataka and Jammu and Kashmir will be held in Hubballi, not Bengaluru, due to ongoing safety upgrades at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. This strategic move, confirmed by KSCA, aims to ensure a high-quality spectator experience and promote cricket statewide, fostering fan engagement beyond the capital.

Former India all-rounder Sunil Joshi was honoured with a pavilion named after him at the KSCA Rajnagar Stadium in Hubballi, marking an emotional return to his roots. The 55-year-old recalled travelling from Gadag to train there and making his Ranji debut at the venue. Joshi said the honour meant a lot to his family and hoped it would inspire young cricketers from small towns.
