Led by Indian star Smriti Mandhana, the Royal Challengers Bangalore emerged victorious over Delhi Capitals in a low-scoring final, clinching the second season of the T20 competition. The triumphant moment prompted Bengalureans to come out of their homes, with the “RCB…RCB” chants echoing from every nook and corner of the city.
Memes also started doing the rounds where people took the popular template from Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’ with the dialogue, “Trophy toh trophy hove hai, chahe chhore lave ya chhori”. This victory marks a significant milestone for RCB, bringing home a trophy that the city has been yearning for since the beginning of the IPL.
Following RCB’s first WPL victory, one fan wrote on X, “If you had told me a few years ago that crowds would flood the streets, block roads to celebrate a women’s league title win, would have brushed it off. The scale of these celebrations signifies a paradigm shift, that could well redefine the landscape of women’s cricket in this country.”
Cricket fans in Bengaluru had been eagerly awaiting this moment since 2008 when the Royal Challengers Bangalore first debuted in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite participating in every season of the franchise tournament, the team never claimed the championship title until now.
The women’s team, led by Smriti Mandhana, carried forward the legacy with grace and grit, culminating in a thrilling low-scoring final against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, where RCB emerged victorious by eight wickets.
