This weekend, Delhi NCR has a packed calendar for everyone — from cricket at Arun Jaitley Stadium to a slam-dunk basketball festival, a 90s nostalgia party, devotional music jams and some of the city’s best live music, comedy and art. Here’s KahaJaun’s curated list of what to book, and where.

India opens its three-match T20I series against Afghanistan right here in the capital, and this one very nearly didn’t happen — Delhi Police flagged a scheduling clash with BRICS Summit security arrangements, but the DDCA has now confirmed the match goes ahead as planned.
