[WHAT’S HAPPENING] BCCI’s New Move After RCB Parade Chaos

In a related but critical development, the BCCI has formed a high-level panel following the unfortunate stampede during RCB’s IPL 2025 victory parade in Bengaluru. The committee, chaired by secretary Devajit Saikia and joined by Prabhtej Singh Bhatia and veteran Rajeev Shukla, has been tasked with drafting safety guidelines within 15 days.

The report also stated that this move is aimed at curbing such crowd management failures in the future.

This series is not only about cricket—it’s about timing, getting ready, and playing at home. For India, it’s a great chance to try new players and improve team setups in known settings. 

For New Zealand, it’s a tough start to the year. See this tour as a warm-up, where both sides get ready before the real fights start. The T20 World Cup is coming soon, and these matches will help selectors see how players are doing in terms of skill, health, and attitude. 

Will new heroes come up?  Will veterans keep their places?  The pitches will show the answers.

Personal Take

As a writer and die-hard sports enthusiast, this tour feels like a jump into a really tough season. Good news is that the many places for games—from north to south—show that the BCCI is working hard to spread out big events. 

More fans, more tales. The bad part? A busy schedule might cause tiredness or injury worries, especially for teams that are not used to India’s weather and conditions. But let’s be real—the India vs New Zealand match is always exciting. 

Each city is set to cheer, and both teams are eager to win. Get ready for a match that’s exciting and loud. Keep watching. The firecrackers are being set up now.
