Royal Challengers Bengaluru clinched their first-ever IPL title on June 3, defeating Punjab Kings by 6 runs at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Krunal Pandya was named Player of the Match for his all-round performance.
However, celebrations turned tragic when a stampede outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru resulted in 11 deaths and 33 injuries. The incident has sparked widespread criticism over crowd management and calls for a larger, safer venue in the city.
