The Bangalore police are currently ruling out any act of terrorism and stating that the incident was minor.
The Karnataka Cricket Association also termed the explosion as a minor incident.
“It’s a minor incident in the generator room. No need to worry. We will have a delayed start though. May be of 10-15 minutes,” Karnataka Cricket Association Assistant Secretary Sudhakar Rao was quoted as saying by the PTI.
Players for both teams were physically inside their locker rooms when the Bangalore blast occurred.
