The last social media post from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) came on June 05 after their celebrations of winning the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Since then, there has been only silence from the franchise, which didn’t post anything on their players or incidents happening around Indian cricket.

Bengaluru, who missed their golden chances of winning the maiden IPL trophies in the past on several occasions, finally was able to grab the trophy in 2025 when they got the better of Punjab Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Now, they have released an official statement on the entire incident since their trophy celebration, which took away multiple lives in the stampede case.

“In that silence, we’ve been grieving. Listening. Learning. And slowly, we’ve begun to build something more than just a response. Something we truly believe in. That’s how 𝗥𝗖𝗕 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗦 came to life.
