Fans waved with yellow-red Bangalore flags, screamed their lungs out and followed the bus on two-wheelers. “We request all our fans on two wheelers to wear helmets abd ride,” the video was captioned, as the mania crescendoed with fans on motorbikes with RCB flags fluttering flanked the bus – minus the helmets.
RCB has never won the IPL. But its fans remain undaunted and herd out to Chinnaswamy to packed houses each time they play, never mind the disappointments. The captive crazies however have had enough reasons to celebrate this year.
Their South side der with CSK for both sets of crazed fans, though RCB have been on a vibe-max about how the 18th season might just be theirs. Home wins have trickled in and surged in recent weeks, and it was no surprise that Kohli was once more struck the outline of the elusive trophy, voicing his dream to win it finally.
