Fans are leaving no stone unturned to help their favourite team lift the cup, as neither team has won an IPL final to date. RCB fans shared pictures of nazar tikas on the team's players, while Punjab Kings fans arranged for digital snaans for the team's photos.
One fan even decorated his car in nimbu and mirchi garlands to ward off bad luck for RCB. The clash between RCB and PBKS will begin shortly. PBKS won the toss and has chosen to bowl first.

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has termed the stampede in Bengaluru near the Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium that claimed 11 lives as 'tragic' and said 'we will have to develop different approaches to control and management'. The comments by Mr. Tharoor, currently in the U.S. leading a multi-party delegation on Operation Sindoor, came during an interview with PTI Videos in Washington on Wednesday (June 4, 2025). Asked what would be his advice to his party colleagues who run the government in Karnataka, the State in which stampede took place, Mr. Tharoor said, 'Somehow or the other, we will have to develop different approaches to control and management. The government there will do what is necessary.' 'It [the stampede] is absolutely tragic. My heart goes out to those who lost their lives,' he said. At least 11 people died while several others were injured in the stampede in Bengaluru during the celebrations of Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) victory in the IPL on Wednesday (June 4, 2025). 'The saddest thing about our excitement and buzz of our population is that we are not good at crowd control. We will learn lessons from it but what a shame that it happened,' he said. In Bengaluru, State Home Minister G. Parameshwara said on Thursday (June 5, 2025) that Karnataka Government will formulate a new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for mega events, meetings and celebrations aimed at preventing any untoward incidents.
