A touching gesture as RCB honours fans ahead of IPL 2026 opener.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are stepping up in a big way this IPL season. In a heartfelt move, they’re reserving 11 seats for every home match in tribute to the victims of the recent stampede. This isn’t just a PR stunt; it’s a genuine nod to the fans who live and breathe cricket, reminding us all of the community spirit that binds us together.
As part of their tribute, the RCB players will wear jerseys featuring the number 11 during warm-ups for their first home game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. It’s a symbolic gesture that not only honours the victims but also highlights how sport can bring healing and unity in tough times.
This season, expect RCB to play with even more heart and passion. The fans will be there in spirit, and the players will surely feel that energy. Let’s see how they channel this motivation as they take on Sunrisers in what promises to be an emotional start to their campaign.
