The fans are filling the stadiums in the Indian Premier League 2024. The craze to watch their favorite stars brings the crowd to the venues in large numbers. MS Dhoni is the most followed cricketer; wherever he goes, the venues turn into a sea of yellow. Royal Challengers Bengaluru is the only team in the league that gets a lot of support despite not winning the title once.
In the 17th season, they have lost six games while winning just one. Still, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium is packed. RCB is an emotion for their fans, and they promise to continue supporting the franchise until their last breath. Former India players Irfan Pathan and Ambati Rayudu saluted the spirit of the fans.
“Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s fans are amazing. The franchise hasn’t lifted the trophy since the first season but they contine to back the players. They don’t leave their players. I think RCB have the most loyal fanbase in the Indian Premier League. It is lovely to see fans coming to the stadium and filling it,” Ambati Rayudu said.
Irfan hailed the supporters of the franchise. “They knew that their franchise was not going to chase down 288 against SRH, but they enjoyed the batting of their team. The fans were dancing despite knowing their team is out of the contest. It is not about this year, this is the story of every season. Fans have rallied behind the team and the players. They trust their players with hope that they will win IPL trophy one day,” Irfan said.
The Bengaluru-based franchise is tenth in the points table and almost out of the playoff race, as winning seven games on the trot is impossible for them.
