Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have resumed activity on social media in the last few days, after nearly three months since the unfortunate stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. 11 people died and 56 were injured as an event planned for celebration took a tragic turn.
Nearly three months after the stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain and the face of the franchise Virat Kohli has reacted to the stampede on the unfortunate day of June 4, a day after the Men in Red finally got their hands on the elusive IPL trophy. Kohli mentioned that it was the happiest day of RCB as a franchise and no one intended to cause what eventually transpired and pledged to move ahead with responsibility and utmost care.
Nothing in life really prepares you for a heartbreak like June 4th. What should’ve been the happiest moment in our franchise’s history… turned into something tragic. I’ve been thinking of and praying for the families of those we lost… and for our fans who were injured. Your loss is part of our story now. Together, we will move forward with care, respect and responsibility,” Virat Kohli was quoted as saying, reacting to the M Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede in Bengaluru on the RCB website.
