History was created on the 3rd of June as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) won the IPL after 18 years for the first time. Virat eyes were teary when he won the finals against the Punjab Kings (PBKS). It was surreal for fans who witnessed this magical moment.
After the lifting of the trophy, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were spotted at the Mumbai Airport and the couple looked upset and denied the photo.
The victory parade was held in Bengaluru and a lot of well-wishers from the city arrived to see a glimpse of Virat and his trophy. On Wednesday, it was a moment of joy, but it turned into a huge disturbing sight as a stampede occurred which took 11 lives and left over 30 injured.

After this incident, people started mourning and asking questions as to who was responsible for such an unfortunate event.
Virat Kohli shared a statement on his social media which reads,
“OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM ROYAL CHALLENGERS BENGALURU
