A bomb has exploded outside a cricket stadium in the southern Indian city of Bangalore, police say. At least eight people were injured in the explosion. The blast happened shortly before the start of an Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket match. Police say the device was hidden in the perimeter wall. The match went ahead with about 40,000 people in Chinnaswamy Stadium. The Mumbai Indians beat the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Bangalore captain Anil Kumble brushed aside suggestions that some of his overseas players had refused to take the field following the explosion. The game started after security staff carried out an inspection of the grounds.
