Royal Challengers Bengaluru ended their Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy drought by defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) in a thrilling match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on June 3. Virat Kohli, who has been with the Bengaluru-based franchise since its inaugural edition, secured his first trophy.
As the team returned on Wednesday, thousands of excited fans gathered outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium to welcome the champions. The overwhelming crowd, eager to catch a glimpse of the players, led to a stampede that turned fatal.
