Another live bomb was found near gate number 8 of Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Saturday evening.
The police cordoned off the area and the bomb was soon defused. The police are now searching the area for more bombs.
Earlier, two explosions rocked Bangalore minutes before the Indian Premier League match between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Mumbai Indians on Saturday.
One explosion took place near gate number 12 of the Chinnaswamy Stadium while the second blast occurred near the Anil Kumble circle close to the stadium.
Immediately after the news of the explosion broke out, the players were asked to return to the dressing room. The police then carried out a second round of anti-sabotage operation.

Sutil leaves Hamilton behind to finish fifth for Force India
Sepang (Malaysia), April 4 (IANS) Adrian Sutil outpaced a surging Lewis Hamilton and drove Force India to fifth place at the Malaysian Open Grand Prix here Sunday.
Sutil logged his first points of the season after a disappointing show at Bahrain and Melbourne.
Vitantonio Liuzzi, who was looking to score a hat-trick of points after notching up two top-10 performances-- ninth in Bahrain and seventh in Melbourne-- retired on lap 12 with a suspected throttle problem.
Sutil, however, raced strongly to earn 10 points that saw Force India jump to sixth place in constructor standing with 18 points in three races.
India's Karun Chandhok came 15th for Hispania.
Red Bull team celebrated a magnificent one-two as German driver Sebastian Vettel won his first race of the season, leaving behind team-mate Mark Webber.
Nico Rosberg crossed the finish line third for Mercedes GP and Renault's Robert Kubica came fourth.
Sutil, who started fourth from the grid, managed well to keep good friend Hamilton at bay.
Hamilton starting at 20th position, drove with power in the opening laps, climbing as high as second at one point, but eventually had to settle for sixth. The 25-year-old McLaren driver took eight drivers on the first lap alone and went past several drivers and then closed the gap on Sutil.
Hamilton, whose qualifying hopes were dashed by rain Saturday, showed his racing skills Sunday. But he couldn't find the speed to overtake Sutil. With Hamilton all over the back of Sutil's car in the last stages, the Force India driver drove a faultless race and kept himself ahead.
It was Sutil's best finish since the 2009 Italian Grand Prix where he finished fourth.
'The race was exciting and fifth place in the end was a great achievement,' Sutil said.
'It was always very close with Lewis (Hamilton) just behind in the closing stages but I knew that if I did not make any mistakes I wouldn't have any problems, so it was just trying to concentrate. I had to push, of course, but it was under control.'
'We are still a good top 10 competitor and we need to continue like this.'
Liuzzi made a good start and was enjoying a battle with Nico Hulkenberg but started to lose power on lap 10.
'I was stuck behind Hulkenberg in the Williams. I was struggling to pass even though I was quicker but we were optimistic for a good race. Unfortunately I had a problem with the throttle after about 12 laps.'
Team owner Vijay Mallya was delighted after scoring points in all three races.
'Adrian had a strong race, keeping a cool head under pressure when a charging Lewis Hamilton was right on his tail. Once again we've proved the pace of our car and our ability to really mix it in the midfield. It was disappointing not to have two cars in the points, but it is overall very positive that we can race hard and score points entirely on merit.' Read More......

'Reverse brain drain in India has begun'
India is in the cusp of a reverse brain drain as the country's great minds are flocking back to the resilient economy that has withstood the global meltdown, Salman Khurshid, Minister of State for Corporate and Minority Affairs has said.
"Reverse brain drain has already begun and it is a great sign of the world's confidence in India and its recognition of India's potential," Khurshid said who is on a four-day official visit to Dubai.
"Those who know that you cannot permanently leave India have sensibly kept your links with the country by educating your children in systems that are compatible to those of India so that they can go back to India either for higher studies or for work."
"Many second-generation Indians are coming back to the country. Top multinationals are sending their top Indian minds to head their companies in India. So when we lose some, we win many back," he added. Read More......

Chinese agents hack into India's top secret documents!
Major Indian missile and armament systems may have been compromised as Chinese hackers have broken into top secret files of the Indian defence ministry and embassies around the world, the New York Times has reported.
Among the systems leaked out could be Shakti, the just introduced advanced artillery combat and control system of the Indian Army, and the country's new mobile missile defence system called the Iron Dome.
A new report called 'Shadow in the Clouds' by Canadian and American researchers -- based at the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto -- has said that a spy operation called 'Shadow Network' based in China has tapped into top secret files of the Indian government.
In the investigations conducted over eight months, the report claimed that systematic cyber espionage was carried out from servers located in China that 'compromised' government, business, academic and other computer network systems in India.
The report finds that Indian government-related entities, both in India and throughout the world, had been thoroughly compromised.
These included computers at Indian embassies in Belgium, Serbia, Germany, Italy, Kuwait, the United States, Zimbabwe, and the High Commissions of India in Cyprus and the United Kingdom.
New York Times said that the Toronto spy hunters found out what kind of material was stolen and were also 'able to see some of the documents, including classified assessments about security in several Indian states, and confidential embassy documents about India's relationships in West Africa, Russia and the Middle East.'
"These include documents from the Offices of the Dalai Lama and agencies of the Indian national security establishment," the report said.
"Data containing sensitive information on citizens of numerous third-party countries, as well as personal, financial, and business information, were also exfiltrated and recovered during the course of the investigation," it said.
"Recovery and analysis of exfiltrated data, including one document that appears to be encrypted diplomatic correspondence, two documents marked 'SECRET', six as 'RESTRICTED', and five as 'CONFIDENTIAL'. These documents are identified as belonging to the Indian government," it added.
These documents contain sensitive information taken from a member of the National Security Council Secretariat concerning secret assessments of India's security situation in the states of Assam, Manipur, Nagaland and Tripura, as well as concerning the Naxalites and Maoists.
In addition, they contain confidential information taken from Indian embassies regarding India's international relations with and assessments of activities in West Africa, Russia/Commonwealth of Independent States and the Middle East, as well as visa applications, passport office circulars and diplomatic correspondence.
However, the researchers note that there is no direct evidence that these were stolen from Indian government computers and they may have been compromised as a result of being copied onto personal computers.
Recovered documents also included presentations relating to the following projects: Pechora Missile System -- an anti-aircraft surface-to-air missile system, Iron Dome Missile System -- a mobile missile defence system (Ratzlav-Katz 2010) and Project Shakti -- an artillery combat command and control system (Frontier India 2009).
The report also finds that the spies also hacked into information on visa applications submitted to Indian diplomatic missions in Afghanistan.
This data was voluntarily provided to the Indian missions by nationals of 13 countries as part of the regular visa application process.
"In a context like Afghanistan, this finding points to the complex nature of the information security challenge where risks to individuals (or operational security) can occur as a result of a data compromise on secure systems operated by trusted partners," the report said.
The investigation also said that 1,500 letters sent from the Dalai Lama's office between January and November 2009, were also leaked out.
The researchers noted that while there was no clear insight into the motives of the spies, "the theme appears to involve topics that would likely be of interest to the Indian and Tibetan communities".
NYT reported that the Chinese hackers also stole documents related to the travel of NATO forces in Afghanistan, highlighting the fact that 'one chink in computer security can leave many nations exposed'.
The newspaper went on to say that the cyber-attacks look like the work of a criminal gang based in Sichuan Province, but given the sophistication of the intrusion, it is possible that the Chinese government approved of the spying.
Meanwhile, a propaganda official in Sichuan's capital, Chengdu, called it 'ridiculous to suggest that the Chinese government might have played a role in the hacking'. Read More......
