The BCCI may compensate by giving Eden Gardens one of the knockout games in the T20 World Cup 2026 to be hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The venue staged the non-India semi-final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, and could get the India semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2026. There are chances that it could get the final as well.
If the CAB is able to get the India semi-final or final of the 2026 T20 WC, then it would come as a proper compensation for the IPL 2025 final, which was expected to be a sold-out affair regardless of the teams participating in the match.
