Massive Crowds in Bengaluru Welcome RCB's Historic Homecoming, Heavy Traffic Around Chinnaswamy Stadum. Watch

On June 4, 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru returned to their home city following their historic victory in the IPL final on June 3, where they secured their first championship by narrowly overcoming Punjab Kings.
Though the team had intended to hold a victory procession starting at Vidhana Soudha and ending at M Chinnaswamy Stadium around 3:30 PM, the Bengaluru police refused to grant approval, citing concerns over traffic and security.
Instead, RCB will be felicitated by Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah at Vidhana Soudha at 4 PM, followed by a celebration at M Chinnaswamy Stadium from 5 to 6 PM with restricted entry.
Thousands of fans gathered along key city roads and at HAL Airport, cheering and waving flags despite the parade cancellation, creating significant traffic congestion and prompting public transport advisories.
The event ended an 18-year wait for the trophy, marking a historic moment, while authorities urged fans to follow traffic regulations to ensure smooth celebrations in Bengaluru.
