If you live or work on Sarjapur Road, you already know what the area has become. The corridor stretching from the Outer Ring Road down through Haralur, Harlur, and towards Attibele is now home to some of Bangalore's largest IT campuses — Wipro, Accenture, Cisco, RMZ Ecoworld, Global Technology Park — and the tens of thousands of working professionals who have settled in the residential townships that have grown up around them. Property prices along the corridor have more than doubled since 2020, a quiet measure of just how dramatically the area's population has grown.
All those people — many of them young, many of them from cricket-playing states — need somewhere to play on a Saturday morning. That's where UCC comes in.
Who Plays at UCC
United Cricket Club was founded in 2020, and from the beginning its membership has largely reflected the Sarjapur corridor's demographic: working professionals, primarily in tech, who grew up playing cricket and want to keep playing it now that they're in Bangalore. The club has members from across India — Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and more — united by the leather ball and a shared weekend.
In 2026 alone, over 75 unique players have represented UCC across its various squads and formats. That is not a big number — it is a deliberate one. UCC is not trying to be a roster of hundreds. It is trying to be a community of people who actually play, regularly, together.
What a Match Day Looks Like
A typical UCC match starts early — early enough that you're done before the Bangalore heat makes leather ball cricket a different sport entirely. Squads are announced in advance on the group. Players arrive, warm up, and the match begins. T20, T30, or T40 format depending on the day and the fixture. Scores are logged on CricHeroes in real time, so stats are tracked across every match, every season.
After the match, the ground fee is split. That is the only financial transaction of the day. No membership fees, no season passes, no kit charges. You show up, you play, you pay your share of the ground — and you're done.
How to Get Here
If you're based anywhere between Marathahalli and Electronic City, UCC's grounds are within practical reach. The club plays in Sarjapur and surrounding areas. Exact ground details are shared with confirmed members ahead of each fixture — which, given Bangalore's traffic, is also when most people plan their Saturday morning around it.
The Internal League: UC3
Beyond external fixtures, UCC runs UC3 — its own internal cricket league. UC3 divides all UCC members into teams that play against each other across a season, giving everyone competitive match time regardless of whether they're in the Senior or Pluto squads for external games. It is one of the things that sets UCC apart: you don't sit out waiting for a squad spot. You play.
If you're based on Sarjapur Road and you've been meaning to find a cricket club since you moved to Bangalore — or since you moved to this part of Bangalore — UCC is the closest, most active leather ball cricket community in the corridor.
