IPL 2025 Final: Ahead of the much-anticipated IPL 2025 final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings, RCB fans have flooded the internet with their iconic slogan, Ee Sala Cup Namde.
The slogan has long served as RCB's rallying cry, but with the team now just one win away from clinching the IPL 2025 title, fans have amplified their voices like never before.

The slogan gained even more momentum after prominent Karnataka leaders joined in to cheer for RCB. Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar shared a video message rallying behind the team, proudly echoing the fan-favourite chant, 'Ee Sala Cup Namde!"
'18 years of grit. Every prayer, every cheer, every heartbreak – it all leads to today. This is more than a match. Our moment. Our Cup. Wishing @RCBTweets the very best – Karnataka is with you!"

Need to develop different approach for crowd management: Tharoor on Bengaluru stampede
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.
