At least 11 people were killed and dozens were injured on Wednesday in a crowd crush outside a stadium in the Indian city of Bengaluru as tens of thousands celebrated a Premier League cricket championship, officials said.

       The crowd had gathered outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium a day after the city’s popular cricket franchise, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, had won its first title in the cash-rich Indian Premier League’s 18-year history.

       A hastily arranged victory parade had been canceled after officials determined that the risk of a stampede was too great. But a celebration inside the stadium proceeded, with the team bused in instead of arriving by parade, and people were trampled at the gates as they tried to push their way in.
