After Royal Challengers Bangalore reached its long -awaited IPL title in the 2025 edition, they looked delighted, as are their fans. The victory parade and the celebrations were planned at the Chinnaswamy stadium, the Red Devils field.
However, delighted people had overcrowded the place, and the authorities could not manage the burden of people, which led to the death of 11 people. This jostling had transformed the joyful event into a nightmare and had received many criticisms as well as several strict measures taken by the authorities.

Silence was not the absence. It was sorrow. This space was once filled with energy, memories and moments that you appreciated the most. But June 4 changed everything. That day has broken our hearts, and silence since then was our way of holding a space. “”
“In this silence, we were in mourning. Listen. Learn. And slowly, we started to build something more than a simple answer. Something in what we really believe,” RCB tweets.
They also announced a new platform called “RCB Cares”, which would focus on a significant action shaped by the community and the RCB fans. It is a question of honoring the memory of those who have lost their lives in the jostling.
“That’s How 𝗥𝗖𝗕 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗦 Came to life. It Grew out of a need to honor, to heal, and to stand beside Our fans. A platform for meaningful action shaped by our community & fans.”

The M Chinnaswamy stadium supported the biggest blow after the scholarship incident
Although the incident has fueled actions against all those involved, including the Karnataka State Cricket Association, the Royal Challengers Management, the DNA management company and also the police. However, the main blow was supported by Mr. Chinnaswamy’s stadium.
The commission of judge Cunha excluded Chinnaswamy as a safe place to organize mass events, and therefore, the land has lost its accommodation rights for the next ICC women’s world cup in India. Even the Maharaja T20 was moved from the room; Consequently, the Royal Challengers Bangalore could soon lose their land.
Despite their absence from social media, the Royal Challengers have shown great interest in some players in the trade window, which was activated for the next IPL season. The reigning champions planned to repair one or two gaps they had during the previous season.
Venkatesh Iyer, whom they had to leave to a crazy offer made by the Kolkata Knight Riders, was under the radar for the Royal Challengers, although the versatile striker did not have the best seasons for KKR in 2025. They could seek to acquire his services through the trade window.
