Bengaluru is buzzing with cricket fever like never before. After an 18-year-long wait, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have finally brought home their first-ever IPL trophy—and now it’s time for the city to celebrate. Today marks a monumental moment in the city’s sporting history as RCB hosts a grand Victory Parade, set to turn the streets of Bengaluru into a sea of red and black.

A City Ready to Celebrate

The much-anticipated parade will kick off from the iconic Vidhana Soudha and culminate at M Chinnaswamy Stadium at 3:30 PM, with the players proudly showcasing the coveted IPL trophy. Fans from every corner of the city are expected to line the route, waving flags, chanting “RCB! RCB!”, and reliving the magical moments of the team’s title-winning match against Punjab Kings at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium.

Massive Turnout and High Spirits

From MG Road to Koramangala, Indiranagar to Vijayanagara, the city is pulsating with joy. Streets were already alive with celebrations the night RCB clinched the title, with fireworks lighting up the sky and fans dancing with abandon. Now, with the team’s arrival, the celebrations have reached a whole new level. City authorities have implemented traffic restrictions and increased police deployment along the parade route to ensure fan safety amid the massive turnout.

Kohli’s Emotional Message

During the post-match presentation, RCB’s heartbeat, Virat Kohli, shared his excitement about returning to Bengaluru. He also made a touching appeal to RCB legends Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers, inviting them to be part of the victory parade. “This moment is not just ours — it belongs to every RCB fan. And it won’t be complete without AB and Chris in Bengaluru,” Kohli said, echoing the emotions of millions.

A Parade to Remember

More than a victory celebration, today’s parade is a tribute to the undying loyalty of RCB fans. For 18 years, they’ve stood by their team through heartbreaks and near-misses. Today, they finally get to see their champions ride through the city, trophy in hand, as history is written on the streets of Bengaluru.
