The chaos, RCB all-rounder Krunal Pandya was moved by the reception: “There’s so much support for RCB. We have to win trophy for them. We have to. Imagine what if we do!”

The team bus, crawling at a cautious pace even around 12:30 AM, left behind a trail of deafening chants – “RCB! RCB!” – echoing across the emptying streets. A dozen policemen were seen running ahead of the vehicle, forming a human barricade to prevent excited fans from flooding into its path.

The close victory lifted RCB to the IPL 2025 table. With performances of the highest order all around – including a mesmerizing innings by Virat Kohli, who regained the Orange Cap, and a nerveless last over by Yash Dayal – the team maintains its hope of ending the trophy drought very much alive, with wild celebrations erupting all over the city.

Fans waving red-and-yellow Bangalore flags pursued the bus on two-wheelers, some even flanking it without helmets. “We request all our fans on two wheelers to wear helmets abd ride,” read the caption on the viral video. But the message got lost in the euphoria, as the motorcade of loyalists swelled.

RCB have never lifted the IPL trophy, but the faith among their die-hard faithful remains unshaken.
