Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is awaiting the Election Commissions announcement of election dates before finalising the schedule for the 2026 season of the Indian Premier League, sources told IANS, further adding that the Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been asked to finalise their home venues by the end of this week. Elections will soon be held across various states in India, but the BCCI is awaiting the governments announcement of the dates for the Assam, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal polls. While the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati hosts some of the Rajasthan Royals home games, the MA Chidambaram Stadium and Eden Gardens are home venues for the Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, respectively. We are working on the IPL schedule, but we are still awaiting the announcement of the election dates by the Election Commission. Once those dates are confirmed, we will be able to draw up a schedule that does not disrupt the election process or clash with matches in the poll-bound states, ensuring smooth conduct of both, a BCCI source told IANS. Last week, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) received approval to host IPL and international cricket matches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru again, but the permission was subject to compliance with specific terms and conditions prescribed by the government and concerned authorities. As far as the home venues of RCB and RR are concerned, we have asked the franchises to take a final call and inform us within a week. Once the teams finalise their venues, we will prepare the schedule accordingly. So, at this stage, we are waiting for the teams decisions as well as the announcement of the election dates, the source further said. The formal approval for marquee cricket fixtures to return to the venue has ended months of uncertainty after the stadium was taken off the cricketing calendar following a stampede during Royal Challengers Bengalurus IPL 2025 title-winning celebrations on June 4, when eleven people were killed, while 56 people suffered injuries. In its aftermath, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shifted several major events away from the Chinnaswamy Stadium, including the Duleep Trophy, the IndiaSouth Africa mens A series, Vijay Hazare Trophy and the 2025 ICC Womens ODI World Cup, including the final. Hosting matches at the ground again was subject to the implementation of recommendations from the Justice Michael DCunha report, which was formed as part of the investigation into the tragedy. The KSCA also endured administrative upheaval, operating without a treasurer and secretary for months after both resigned, citing moral responsibility for the tragedy. Last year, the Venkatesh Prasad-led panel took charge and began acting on its first priority: bringing matches back to the iconic cricketing venue. With the state governments clearance now secured, it would be interesting to see if RCB will play all of its IPL 2026 home games in Chinnaswamy, considering that its vice-president Rajesh Menon met Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai for playing two games at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Naya Raipur. The KSCA also endured administrative upheaval, operating without a treasurer and secretary for months after both resigned, citing moral responsibility for the tragedy. Last year, the Venkatesh Prasad-led panel took charge and began acting on its first priority: bringing matches back to the iconic cricketing venue.

McDonald's Merry Meal's Socks Sparked Festive FOMO
McDonald's India (West & South), owned and operated by Westlife Foodworld, witnessed an overwhelming consumer response to its limited-edition Santa Socks, launched as part of the Merry Meal. The festive merchandise was completely sold out across West and South India before Christmas, turning a seasonal collectible into one of the most talked-about festive drops of the year. McDonald’s India’s Christmas Special Santa Socks Sold Out in 5 Days Demand surged rapidly, led by Mumbai as the fastest-selling city, followed closely by Ahmedabad. The campaign saw 1,50,000 socks sold just within five days, reflecting the speed and scale at which consumer excitement translated into action. The buzz around the Santa socks was driven by consumers themselves. More than 200+ organic social media reels featuring the Socks appeared across platforms, creating a strong sense of FOMO and urgency around the collectible. Some went a step further and created their own versions of the socks, wearing lookalikes simply to feel part of the moment. A key factor behind this response was the creative approach. Instead of releasing a traditional festive brand film, the brand chose to tell the story through a Gen Z–forward, lifestyle film that felt authentic to the way people consume and share content today. The film helped position the Merry Meal as a cultural moment that felt fun, relatable, and worth sharing. As the year turns and festive moments linger, the McDonald’s India Socks story stands as proof that when cultural insight meets organic consumer love, even a small festive detail can leave a lasting impression! www.instagram.com/reel/DSPnAHjkc1u/?hl=en Over the years, McDonald’s has delighted fans across ages with iconic toys, novelties and seasonal keepsakes. Building on this legacy, the Merry Meal brought that excitement back with a collectible and limited edition pair of Christmas Socks, available in two unique festive designs, which fans could wear, gift, and swap or add to their growing McDonald’s memorabilia. Lavdeep Walia, Chief Strategy & Growth Officer, McDonald’s India (W&S) , said, “ For decades, we have been part of countless family moments. The Merry Meal was designed to bring families and friends together over great food, festive fun and a little extra cheer, because nothing says celebration like a delicious meal with a surprise that warms your heart (and your feet!). This initiative was our way of strengthening everyday occasions and creating touchpoints that keep people coming together at our restaurants. Our intent is to continue shaping occasions wherein communities gather, celebrate and create memories that last beyond the meal.” About Westlife Westlife Foodworld Limited (BSE: 505533) (WFL), formerly known as Westlife Development Ltd (WDL), focuses on setting up and operating Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) in India through its subsidiary Hardcastle Restaurants Pvt.
