KSCA Stadium Named Venue for Ranji Trophy Final, M Chinnaswamy Misses Out

The KSCA Stadium in Rajnagar, Hubballi will be the venue for the final match of the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy. The hosting rights will go to Karnataka since they have more points than Jammu & Kashmir. According to the rules, the team with more points gets to host the final match.

Jammu & Kashmir have already made it to the final by defeating Bengal. Karnataka are also on the verge of making it to the final. In their semifinal match against Uttarakhand, Karnataka scored a massive lead of 513 runs, and the match is expected to end in a draw. This is almost certain for them to make it to the final.

KSCA official told PTI that,

“Karnataka vs Jammu and Kashmir, the five days final from February 24, is to be played in KSCA Stadium, Rajnagar, Hubballi,” 

The M Chinnaswamy Stadium cannot be used since it has not received safety clearance yet. Karnataka had other options like Alur, but KSCA president Venkatesh Prasad has decided to conduct the final match in Rajnagar, Hubballi. The plan is to develop cricket in other parts of Karnataka since the stadium has not hosted any major match recently.
