Gujarat Titans Players Evacuated as Team Bus Breaks Down After Short Circuit
All players and staff were evacuated safely after smoke filled the bus, and a replacement vehicle took the team back to the hotel.
On Sunday night, Gujarat Titans players and staff were evacuated after their team bus suffered a short circuit while leaving the Narendra Modi Stadium following their defeat to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 2026 Indian Premier League final.
RCB successfully defended their 2026 Indian Premier League title, defeating the Shubman Gill-led squad at the Narendra Modi Stadium; the loss ended a frustrating night for the defending champions.
Smoke reportedly filled the vehicle following an electrical fault, forcing players and staff to evacuate; the team remained safe but was stranded on the road for nearly an hour before a replacement bus arrived.
The franchise faced a demanding travel schedule after journeying from Mullanpur for Qualifier 2 on May 29, with the bus incident adding to exhaustion from their arduous playoff run.
RCB's back-to-back titles establish the team as the tournament's dominant force, while Gujarat Titans' otherwise impressive campaign ended on a sour note both on and off the field.
