During the Jharkhand T20 final at JSCA International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi on June 23, overcrowding at the West Gate caused a stampede, injuring three to five spectators. 

Only one gate was open, and slow security checks led to crowd surging, pushing, and damage to barricades. 

Police and security forces intervened swiftly, restoring order and allowing the match to proceed as planned. Injured individuals received treatment, and officials confirmed the situation inside the stadium is now calm and normal.
