The T20 Mumbai League 2025, scheduled from May 26 to June 8, is all set to showcase the city's finest domestic cricketing talent in its much-anticipated third edition. Adding to the build-up, the player auction is being held today, with franchises aggressively bidding for IPL-experienced youngsters and emerging local stars.
The auction served as a platform for Mumbai's next-gen cricketers to take centre stage, with significant sums shelled out for promising names. Musheer Khan, part of the Punjab Kings' IPL squad, was one of the most expensive buys at Rs 15 lakh, while Ayush Mhatre, fresh off his IPL debut for Chennai Super Kings, fetched Rs 14.75 lakh, with Suryansh Shedge, Angkrish Raghuvanshi and others also earning big contracts.

Bengaluru stampede: 'Cops tried to enforce queues but people pushed from all sides. And we fell down'
BENGALURU: A teenage girl eager to see her cricketing heroes. A young techie whose laptop still waits on her desk. A woman carried on shoulders by friends, gasping for life. A student found with torn clothes, his mother's cries echoing through hospital corridors. All were caught in a crushing crowd surge during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's victory parade on Wednesday, turning joy into devastation. Fourteen-year-old Divyamshika - fondly called Dimple - had watched the final late into Tuesday night, cheering for RCB. The next afternoon, she went to Chinnaswamy Stadium with her mother, aunt, and grandaunt to see RCB players celebrate their long-awaited IPL title. Around 4.50pm, crowds outside began pushing in. Caught in the stampede, Dimple was trampled. "My daughter called me and kept crying, telling me to rush to Bowring Hospital. She didn't say why. My granddaughter was crushed underfoot," said her grandfather Lakshminarayan. "She had just started Class IX. They went to celebrate, not die." At Vydehi Hospital, another tragedy was unfolding. Bhoomik, 21, had gone to the stadium with friends. Separated in the rush, he was later found unconscious, clothes torn. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025: Steel Suppliers From Mexico At Lowest Prices (Take A Look) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Undo "We tried to revive him in the police jeep, but he didn't make it," said a friend. His mother's cries echoed: "Chinnu, get up. Your mamma has come." His parents alleged delay in medical care and added insult when chief minister Siddaramaiah's visit held up hospital formalities. "If he told us he was going, we wouldn't have let him. He was our only son," said his father. Devi, a Tamil Nadu native and RCB fan, had skipped a few hours of work to attend the parade. She texted her friend "I'm taking the metro!" and rushed to the stadium after failing to get tickets online. "Her laptop is still on the table and her bags are there, but she is not," her colleague said, waiting outside the hospital. Sahana, 24, from Kolar had come with 12 colleagues. "We waited near Gate 7. Police tried to enforce queues, but people pushed from behind. We fell. People ran over us," said her friend. "There was no ambulance. We carried Sahana till Tonique shop and begged a car for help. She couldn't be saved."

Bengaluru stampede: 'Free ticket' rumour sparked stadium chaos
BENGALURU: Gate No. 7 - which gives a sweeping view of those coming into Chinnaswamy Stadium through the main entrance - turned out to be a death trap after rumours started floating that free tickets would be distributed there. In minutes, the gate turned into an epicentre of panic and disorder as fans who had gathered in massive numbers to celebrate RCB's first ever IPL victory fell over each other in a mad scramble for tickets. "People completely lost control. It was a disaster," said Achimanya from Rajajinagar neighbourhood. Sudden rain around 5.30pm made the situation worse. The stadium has 21 stands with 13 gates. While gates 9 and 10 were reserved for state cricket association members, gates 5, 6, 7, 19 and 20 - located along the team's main entry route - saw the highest concentration of crowds. Maximum casualties were reported from gate 7. Poor crowd management and dilly-dallying over allowing a victory parade through the city contributed to the unfolding tragedy. "There was an ambulance with 40 injured people. I was lucky to get out in time. Even police were struggling to manage the crowd," said Avinash S (31) from RR Nagar. Sinchana N (25), who got caught in the melee, said, "I could avoid the worst only because I reached late. Cops were not controlling the crowd in the real sense, and were just pushing people around." As ambulances struggled to negotiate their way through the crowds, police resorted to lathicharge near Cubbon Park Circle around 6.30 pm to disperse the crowds.

RCB fan frenzy turns fatal: 11 dead, 75 injured
Bengaluru: What began as euphoric celebrations to mark Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) maiden IPL title ended in tragedy Wednesday evening, when a stampede at the Chinnaswamy Stadium claimed 11 lives and left 75 others injured. The incident, one of the worst fan-related disasters in Indian cricket history, unfolded as thousands gathered to celebrate RCB's long-awaited victory. Those confirmed dead include Bhoomik (21), Sahana (19), Poornachandra (32), and Prajwal (20), Chinmayi (19), Dewanshi (13), Shravan (20), Devi (29), Shivalingaiah (17), Manoj (33), and Akshatha (age yet to be confirmed). RCB clinched their first IPL trophy on Tuesday night, ending a 17-year drought. With the mood in the city electric, the team announced a grand victory parade from Vidhana Soudha to the stadium, with Virat Kohli leading the procession, cup in hand. It was enough to send ecstatic fans running to the stadium even before the team's arrival from Ahmedabad. The situation spiralled out of control near Gate 7 of the stadium as the crowds swelled beyond manageable levels. Many collapsed due to asphyxiation in the crowd crush. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Вот что поза во сне говорит о вашем характере! Удивительные Новости Undo While 33 fans were hospitalised, 42 others were treated as outpatients. The state govt attributed the tragedy to the fan frenzy on the streets. Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah said: "It is deeply shocking. A moment of joy has been eclipsed by sorrow. Nearly three lakh people descended to celebrate, nobody expected so many people. We thought the stadium with a capacity of 35,000 would get filled. But no one expected such a huge turnout." The state govt announced Rs 10 lakh compensation to each of the victim's families and free treatment to the injured. Meanwhile, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh each of the bereaved families. However, senior police officials maintained that the state govt had been warned about the the risks of holding a victory parade and celebrations at such short notice, just hours after RCB had clinched the title. Eyewitnesses and survivors criticised the lack of proper crowd control and security arrangements, calling the preparations inside and around the stadium pathetic. Though 1,500 cops were deployed, they were outnumbered by the sheer size and enthusiasm of the crowd who were waiting to rush into the stadium. With two events planned — a public felicitation one at Vidhana Soudha and a reception at the KSCA — the police force deployed had to be split between the two venues, stretching them thin. "Fans, who had no idea on how to get passes or buy tickets for the celebrations, tried to force themselves inside," police said. The govt has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the tragedy. Confusion on entry into the stadium with no clarity on which gates to use, led to the stampede-like situation, said many who were at the scene.
