[WATCH] IPL 2025: Massive crowd gather at Vidhana Soudha for RCB
Massive crowds gathered at Bengaluru’s Vidhana Soudha to celebrate Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s historic maiden IPL 2025 victory.
On June 4, 2025, Bengaluru was buzzing with excitement as thousands of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans gathered at Vidhana Soudha to celebrate the team's first Indian Premier League (IPL) Championship. After 18 years of waiting, RCB finally won their first IPL trophy after winning against Punjab Kings by six runs in the nail-biting final in Ahmedabad. The streets were full of excited fans waving red and black flags and chanting the ever popular "Ee Sala Cup Namde."
The festivities were officially launched with a grand felicitation ceremony at Vidhana Soudha, with Karnataka's political leaders stepping forward to felicitate the champions. The team bus, headed by skipper Rajat Patidar and star batsman Virat Kohli, was met with an avalanche of people. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar personally felicitated the players, presenting them with garlands, Mysuru turbans, and plaques in appreciation of their great achievement.
The energy was palpable as fans of the RCB from all parts of the city came to cheer for their heroes irrespective of their political allegiance. Social media was saturated with pictures and videos of the celebratory mood while chants and cheers spilled over into the surrounding areas. The victory was not only a testament to the team’s dedication but also a celebration of Bengaluru’s unwavering love for cricket.
Grand Celebrations Across Bengaluru
Beyond the Vidhana Soudha, the city was alive with festivities. Streets from HAL Airport to M. Chinnaswamy Stadium saw large crowds clad in RCB colors, creating a vibrant sea of red and black. An open-top bus parade was also planned but scrapped in light of Bengaluru's traffic and congestion. Instead, the team was able to get to Chinnaswamy Stadium for a special celebratory event.
