From every six, wicket, and catch to every boundary, Dinah's energy and enthusiasm shine through, reminding fans that cheerleaders play a vital role in creating the electric atmosphere of IPL matches.
Dinah's real-life hustle

RCB's long-awaited triumph and Kohli's moment of glory
Well, if you are still living under the rock, the IPL 2025 final was a thriller, with RCB finally breaking their 18-year drought by beating the Punjab Super Kings at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium. This victory was especially sweet for Virat Kohli, who has been with RCB since 2008 and finally secured his first IPL trophy.
Kohli's stellar season, scoring 657 runs in 15 matches, made him the third-highest run-scorer of the tournament, proving his unmatched skill and determination. The win was not just a team achievement but a celebration of years of perseverance.

Bengaluru stampede: Police had flagged celebration at one spot, warned of unpreparedness; was rejected by state, organisers
BENGALURU: A full city victory parade covering major stretches of Bengaluru - from Vidhana Soudha to MG Road and beyond - was originally suggested by the city police to mark RCB's IPL win. The idea was to keep the team moving through different areas so fans could celebrate from the roadsides instead of overcrowding and flooding one location but this suggestion was flatly rejected by the organisers and the state government, despite warnings of the chaos it could lead to. Via multiple informed sources, TNIE learnt that the police had reportedly said no to holding a grand event at such a short notice as the police force had spent the night on the ground till 4 am controlling heavy celebrations in the central business district on Tuesday, June 3, after the RCB win and were stretched thin. The police had also assessed the public mood after the trophy win and communicated to the organisers that massive turnout is certain and that crowd control would require careful preparation. The organisers also failed to provide details of how exactly they are planning the event, expected crowd size and how exactly passes would be distributed, a police official said, adding that most of the details were verbally communicated as it was done in a hurried manner. The police also mentioned that they didn't have the time to arrange even the barricades which they usually source from private event managers.
