Last Updated: In a clip shared by Allu Arjun on Instagram, Ayaan, an ardent Virat Kohli fan, is seen overwhelmed with emotion following RCB's historic win against Punjab Kings (PBKS). The IPL 2025 final saw Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) clinch their maiden title, and the win stirred up an outpouring of emotions across the country. Among the most heartwarming reactions came from Allu Arjun's 11-year-old son, Allu Ayaan, whose video post-win has gone viral for all the right reasons. In a clip shared by Allu Arjun on Instagram, Ayaan, an ardent Virat Kohli fan, is seen overwhelmed with emotion following RCB's historic win against Punjab Kings (PBKS). Captioning the video, Arjun wrote, 'Ayaan getting super emotional. #viratkohli fan boy moment. Soo cute my chinni babu #alluayaan #rcb #ipl2025." The video shows Ayaan declaring, 'I love Kohli, I like Kohli so much. I got into cricket because of him," before dramatically collapsing onto the floor, screaming with joy.

Toronto's CN Tower goes orange and blue for Edmonton Oilers, Canada's last hope at the Cup
Toronto shows support for Edmonton Oilers in Stanley Cup Final. CN Tower is lit in Oilers colors. This is to support Canada's hope for the Cup. It has been 31 years since Canada won. Leafs fans are not happy with this show of support. Social media is buzzing with reactions. Canada unites behind the Oilers for the Cup. Toronto and Edmonton don't usually hold hands when it comes to hockey but for one night only, Canada's skyline is flying the orange and blue. The CN Tower, Toronto's most iconic landmark, is glowing in Oilers colors this evening to support the Edmonton Oilers, the final Canadian team left standing in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. And let's just say… not everyone in Leafs Nation is thrilled. Toronto's skyline just switched jerseys and yes, it's for the greater good In a rare show of hockey truce, the CN Tower is officially lit orange and blue to back the Oilers as they prepare for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. The move is meant to show national support for Canada's last shot at the Cup but considering it's happening in the heart of Leafs territory, it's also kinda hilarious. The announcement quickly took off on social media, with fans posting photos of the glowing tower and debating whether this is 'Canadian unity' or 'just plain betrayal.' It's been 31 years since the Stanley Cup came home Here's the bigger picture: Canada hasn't seen a Stanley Cup win since 1993. That's three decades without the trophy landing north of the border. So now that only one team—the Oilers remains in the fight, the country's hockey heart is (kind of) uniting behind them. Even fans who aren't typically Oilers supporters are now tweeting things like 'Go Oilers, I guess…' and 'The Cup drought is bigger than my hate for Edmonton.' Desperate times call for desperate fandom. Of course, not everyone is handling it well. Leafs fans in particular are feeling personally attacked. One posted, 'I wonder if it sucks being a TO fan and always having the CN Tower lit in other teams colours…🤔' Another joked, 'As an Oilers fan who could never have brought myself to cheer for the Leafs if the roles were reversed, I feel sadness for my counterparts in Toronto.' There's plenty of banter from both sides, but one thing's for sure: it's rare to see Toronto doing anything in support of Edmonton, let alone lighting up the skyline like it's their own parade. Whether it's out of loyalty, desperation, or just pure hockey love, Canada has spoken: the Oilers are the nation's last hope. And for one night, even Toronto's skyline is playing along. So here's to national unity, temporary truces, and one glowing tower putting all rivalries aside for the Cup.

'We promptly amended our...', RCB says about stampede at Chinnaswamy in Bengaluru
An injured being assisted who got fainted during a stampede outside M. Chinnaswamy Stadium ahead of the IPL 2025 victory celebration of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, in Bengaluru on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. (Photo: IANS) Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have mourned the horrific stampede outside the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday that claimed 11 lives and left 33 others injured. Thousands of RCB fans had gathered outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru to participate in a felicitation function for the RCB team that won the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 title, ending the franchise's 18-year-long wait for the title. The stampede was reported outside Gate 2 of the stadium shortly after RCB players reached the Vidhana Soudha to meet Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. The crowd outside the stadium had been swelling for hours amid confusion over whether the victory parade would actually take place. Many people have criticised RCB for going ahead with a felicitation function for its players while the victims were suffering in the hospitals. But the franchise said they had amended their program soon after being made aware of the tragedy. 'RCB mourns the tragic loss of lives and extends our heartfelt condolences to the affected families. Immediately upon being made aware of the situation, we promptly amended our program and followed the guidance and advice of the local administration,' the RCB said in a statement. 'We are deeply anguished by the unfortunate incidents that have come to light through media reports regarding public gatherings all over Bengaluru in anticipation of the team's arrival this afternoon. The safety and well-being of everyone is of utmost importance to us. 'We urge all our supporters to please stay safe,' RCB said in the statement released late in the evening. The tragic scenes outside the stadium unfolded rapidly. As barriers collapsed, panic spread among the crowd. Police personnel, unable to control the surge, watched as many fans were crushed in the chaos. Emergency teams rushed the injured to Bowring and Vydehi Hospitals. Survivors described heart-wrenching scenes—of people gasping for breath, unconscious bodies on the ground, and cries for help drowned in the commotion. RCB legend Virat Kohli also put out the same official statement, expressing his sorrow through an Instagram post.
