Ranji Trophy 2025-26 Final Between Karnataka And Jammu & Kashmir To Be Played In Hubballi
Karnataka State Cricket Association: The Ranji Trophy 2025/26 final between Karnataka and Jammu & Kashmir will be staged at the KSCA Cricket Stadium in Hubballi from February 24, said the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) on Thursday. Previously, a JKCA official told IANS that the final was likely to be held in Hubballi. Taking into account both the ongoing stadium upgradation works in Bengaluru and the Associations commitment to decentralising top-level cricket, KSCA, in consultation with the BCCI, has decided to host the Ranji Trophy Final at the KSCA Hubballi Stadium. Several spectator gates and access points are currently being dismantled and widened, along with other critical improvement works. In view of these ongoing developments, it would not have been feasible to ensure the high-quality match-viewing experience and spectator convenience that a marquee fixture such as the Ranji Trophy Final deserves. Further, the newly elected KSCA Managing Committee, which assumed office in December 2025 under the leadership of former India cricketer and KSCA President Mr. Venkatesh Prasad, had, as part of its stated vision and manifesto commitments, resolved to take major domestic and national-level matches to prominent mofussil centres across Karnataka. This initiative is aimed at promoting cricket across the State, nurturing regional fan engagement, and strengthening the sporting ecosystem beyond Bengaluru, said the KSCA in its statement. Karnataka advanced to the title clash after 11 years, after drawing their semifinal against Uttarakhand but progressing on a first-innings lead grabbed in Lucknow. Jammu & Kashmir, meanwhile, scripted history by reaching their first-ever final with a stunning six-wicket win over Bengal in Kalyani.

On this day, Lord Shiva devotees should visit the temple and offer milk, Datura (Thorn Apple) fruit, and flowers. One should also observe fasts, especially married couples, to get a special blessing for their marital life. The Story of Neelkanth According to the legend, the Devas (gods) and Asuras (demons) once churned the cosmic ocean to obtain Amrit (the nectar of immortality). During this massive churning, many divine and dangerous things emerged from the ocean. But before the nectar appeared, a deadly poison called Halahala surfaced. The poison was so toxic that it began to spread through the universe, threatening to destroy all creation. Neither the gods nor the demons could control it. In desperation, they turned to Lord Shiva for help. Maha Shivartri 2026: Visit These Revered Bholenath Temple In Mumbai On The Occasion Of 'Lord Shiva Great Night' Why did Lord Shiva turn blue?

The poison was extremely powerful and turned his throat deep blue. Goddess Parvati prevented it from spreading through his body, causing his throat to turn blue. The story highlights Shiva's role as protector of the universe and symbol of selfless sacrifice. That is why he is known as NeelKanth , meaning the Blue-Throated One.
