A top angle view of Virat Kohli throwing away his cap right after sealing the IPL Trophy went viral. Kohli, who was fielding at the boundary, threw his cap, after RCB won it despite Shashank Singh hitting a six off Jos Hazlewood in the final ball. Right then the RCB dugout rushed in, with VK sitting at the outfield, kneeling down, burying his face in the ground. Swastik Chikara ran in, sat beside Kohli, thumped the ground out of joy, and waited for Kohli till he got up.

RCB posted 190/9, with crucial knocks from Kohli (43) and Livingstone (25), and bowled with precision to restrict PBKS to 184/7, despite a late scare from Shashank Singh, who remained unbeaten on 61. However, the celebratory mood was short-lived. Chaos unfolded outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium during the victory parade, where a massive crowd of over 2.5 lakh people gathered—far beyond the stadium's 35,000 capacity. Rumors of free entry led to uncontrollable surges at multiple entry points, resulting in a stampede that tragically claimed 11 lives. While fans panted outside, the team carried on with the felicitation. The Karnataka High Court took suo motu cognisance of the incident and questioned the preparedness of authorities.While the state claimed over 1,000 police personnel were deployed, the court noted discrepancies with earlier statements that claimed 5,000 officers. The government admitted that crowd management SOPs were still being developed, and that the sudden influx overwhelmed even emergency setups. Amid mounting pressure, a First Information Report (FIR) was lodged at Cubbon Park Police Station against RCB, the event management firm DNA Entertainment Networks, and KSCA’s Administrative Committee, citing criminal negligence in the tragedy. Meanwhile, right after coming back, Virat Kohli, along with Anushka Sharma, took a private plane and flew back to London.
