Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) legend Virat Kohli has paid tribute to the victims of the Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede in which at least 11 people were killed. The tragedy occurred during RCB's title celebration, which was attended by lakhs of joyous RCB fans.

"Nothing in life really prepares you for a heartbreak like June 4th. What should've been the happiest moment in our franchise's history... turned into something tragic. I've been thinking of and praying for the families of those we lost... and for our fans who were injured. Your loss is part of our story now. Together, we will move forward with care, respect and responsibility," said Kohli in a post shared by RCB.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) last month announced a compensation of ₹25 lakh each to the families of the victims who lost their lives during the tragic stampede. Meanwhile, RCB earlier this year in June won their maiden IPL title after they defeated Punjab Kings in the final of IPL 2025, bringing an end to a 17-year-long wait.
