Today something was very wrong in Bengaluru but BCCI has no role in it. He said, ‘It is going to open eyes and we have to think what we should do in such circumstances. Every year there will be a winner and celebrations will be celebrated in his hometown. So we have to learn a lesson so that this does not happen in future. At this time, BCCI has no control over private ceremonies of any franchise.
Arun Dhumal, chairman of the IPL Governing Council, said, ‘We have noticed this and will ensure that such incidents happen again.

He said, ‘Even RCB management did not know what was happening, as they were inside the stadium. As soon as we came to know, we talked to RCB officials and they told us that they are ending the matter.
