D. K. Shivakumar said the IPL final should have been held in Bengaluru, arguing that the decision deprived Karnataka and Bengaluru's cricket fans of hosting the marquee match. Responding to the remarks, Rajeev Shukla said the BCCI chose Ahmedabad because of its seating capacity of over one lakh spectators, allowing more fans and stakeholders to attend while maximizing revenue.
