At least 11 people are dead and more than 30 injured after a crowd crush outside a cricket stadium in southern India’s Karnataka state, authorities said.

The crush happened as tens of thousands of cricket fans gathered outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru city to celebrate the winners of the Indian Premier League, the world’s most popular T20 cricket tournament.

Karnataka state’s Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the crowd tried to break one of the stadium’s gates and enter to take part in celebrations.

Eleven people were killed and 33 others were injured, said Siddaramaiah, who only uses one name, adding that most of the injured were stable and receiving treatment in hospitals.

Having the largest population in the world, and zero skill at crowd management is a terrible combination.
