Rajat Patidar, Krunal Pandya Dance As RCB Get Rousing Reception At Team Hotel
Last Updated: Royal Challengers Bengaluru celebrated their first IPL title victory in 18 years with captain Rajat Patidar and Krunal Pandya dancing to dhol beats in Ahmedabad. Royal Challengers Bengaluru skipper Rajat Patidar and star allrounder Krunal Pandya were seen on Wednesday shaking a leg to dhol beats as the team got a rousing reception at their team hotel in Ahmedabad after clinching the Indian Premier League title after 18 years. Pandya started with some Garba moves as Kohli and Mo Bobat entered the hotel. The latter was holding the coveted trophy. Patidar, who is otherwise known to be a very calm figure on and off the field, couldn't stop himself as he joined the celebrations with his good friend Jitesh Sharma. Even the veteran Dinesh Karthik, who transformed from a player to batting coach and mentor, also danced a bit. Suyash Sharma, Swastik Chikara and Yash Dayal showed their moves as well, as Phil Salt and Tim David captured the moments on their phones. Watch the video here: Entry but make it BOLD. ❤️🔥 — Royal Challengers Bengaluru (@RCBTweets) June 4, 2025 Bengaluru and ace India batter Virat Kohli washed away 18 years of hurt and disappointment on a dream Tuesday night, conquering the Punjab Kings by six runs to lift their maiden Indian Premier League title in Ahmedabad. The final turned out to be a battle of nerves and Bengaluru channelled their years of disappointment and pain to come back roaring in the contest and seal a commanding win against Punjab. A partisan crowd didn't give up on Bengaluru even as they struggled to find the flourish with the bat and ended up posting a total of 190/9 with superstar Kohli making a laborious 35-ball 43. At the break, Bengaluru's total didn't look enough, but a persistent effort from their bowlers made the scoreboard pressure work in their favour. With 29 needed off the final over, Bengaluru's victory over Punjab was sealed when Josh Hazlewood bowled the second consecutive dot ball. Shashank Singh struck a valiant 61 not out off 30 deliveries (3x4s, 6x6s), but his effort came far too late as Punjab ended at 184/7. Josh Hazlewood provided the first breakthrough, Krunal Pandya bowled a dream spell of 4-0-17-2 in a summit clash, but it was Romario Shepherd's dismissal of Punjab skipper Shreyas Iyer that indicated which way the match was headed.

Watch: Indian tourists' Garba performance in Austria goes viral– for all the wrong reasons
A video from Austria has caused a buzz back in India– not because of the usual visa issues or travel expenses, but because of how some tourists behaved. A group of Indian travellers were seen in a clip asking street performers in Austria to play Indian music so they could dance Garba. What they meant as a fun and friendly gesture ended up sparking a bigger discussion online about how tourists should behave abroad, respect others' space, and ask for permission before getting involved in public performances. Street musicians hesitated, but the group persisted In the now-viral Instagram video, a woman from the group talks about how they asked two local musicians in Austria to play Indian songs. The group, said to include 43 Gujarati-Marwari tourists, wanted to do a Garba dance right in the middle of a public street. The woman filming the video says, 'Have you ever thought of playing Garba in Europe? Well, I had and now I can tick it off the bucket list.' She also admits in the clip that the musicians were reluctant and expressed concern about potential warnings from the police. Despite that, the group continued insisting. 'We weren't ready to leave without doing Garba,' she adds. The video ends with the group dancing around the performers, while locals and passersby look on. 'We don't even do this randomly in India' The online reaction came quickly– and most of it was negative. Many people, especially fellow Gujaratis, were upset and felt the group had shown a lack of basic manners. One of the most shared comments said: 'I am a Gujju and love garba, but I'm sorry. I just don't get the obsession with doing it on foreign streets and being proud of something. I mean, we don't even do that in India on a random day and random street!' Another wrote, 'I'm a Gujju, and you guys really need to stop this nonsense of playing garba anywhere, anytime.' The incident resonated with many Indians who have been worried for a while about how Indian tourists are seen in other countries. 'This is the reason foreigners hate Indians' Some even pointed out how such actions reinforce negative stereotypes about Indian travellers. A flight attendant shared her own experience in a blunt comment: 'This is the reason foreigners hate Indians! As a flight attendant people often come to me & ask me only one question about Indians & that is, 'Why you Indians are so demanding', and now I know why they have mentality like this about us. I mean, come on… Why do you even have to force them to play Indian music?' Another added, 'Is this something to be proud of? They were uncomfortable, but still you made them do this?? No wonder why Indians are not respected abroad!' Not the first, but a recurring concern This isn't the first time Indian tourists have faced criticism for behaviour that some see as disrespectful in other countries. There have been past incidents, like playing loud music in peaceful areas or ignoring local rules, and similar patterns have been seen in different travel spots around the world. While dancing and celebrating are a big part of Indian culture, critics say it's important to be aware of the setting– especially when you're in another country, where public spaces and social norms may be very different. A reminder for mindful tourism One social media user summed it up aptly: 'This is just embarrassing and the precise reason why Indian tourists get a bad name. Being obsessed with doing this and being forced to do this on foreign soil is just plain ridiculous. Even in India, nobody does this randomly. Please think of other Indian tourists when you do such stuff.' As more Indians travel around the world, there's also a growing need to travel with respect and sensitivity. Not everything needs to be shared on Instagram– and sometimes, it's better to skip a moment altogether if it might come off as disrespectful.

"Tick It Off Bucket List": Garba By Indian Tourists In Austria Goes Viral
A video of a group of Indian tourists performing Garba, a traditional Gujarati folk dance, on the streets of Austria has gone viral. The woman, who shared the video on her Instagram account, said she could now tick it off her bucket list. The clip showed 43 Gujarati and Marwadi tourists performing garba in the historic old town of Innsbruck, Austria. "This is really happening," said the woman who posted the clip. She revealed they came across two local street performers and asked them if they could play a Garba song on their speaker. At first, the performers refused, saying it would cause trouble with the police. But the Indian group insisted they would not leave without dancing. Eventually, the artists agreed, and the group performed Garba for five minutes. "Have you ever thought of playing Garba in Europe? Well, I had and now I can tick it off the bucket list," she captioned the video. View this post on Instagram A post shared by pearl:) (@ipearlshah) The video went viral but also faced criticism. One person commented, "Those performers are buskers; they are working hard to earn money. You literally disturbed them in their working hours and took away the spotlight for your own fun. Imagine someone coming to your workplace and ask you to use your laptop just to play games for fun. As a tourist, please learn to respect other art forms and artists." Another wrote, "This is just embarrassing and the precise reason why Indian tourists get a bad name. Being obsessed with doing this and being forced to do this on foreign soil is just plain ridiculous. Even in India, nobody does this randomly. Please think of other Indian tourists when you do such stuff." "I'm a Gujju and love garba, but sorry, I just don't get the obsession of doing it on abroad streets and being proud of something. I mean, we don't even do that in Indian on a random day and random street." Last week, a video of a grand Indian baraat, involving around 400 people, dancing through New York's iconic Wall Street, also went viral. It showed people dressed in shimmery sarees and sequinned lehengas dancing to Bollywood music on DJ beats. The groom and around 400 people were seen grooving to the dhols and DJ beats.
