The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have always commanded a fervent and loyal fan base, despite the team’s fluctuating fortunes in the Indian Premier League (IPL). With star players like Virat Kohli in their ranks, RCB have cultivated a passionate following that transcends cricket, making their presence felt across various social media platforms.
Amid general elections results, RCB fans light up social media
RCB fans’ impact was even visible on the election results day of India on June 4. While the political atmosphere was charged with anticipation over who would lead the country for the next five years, RCB fans found a unique way to keep the mood light. They flooded live streams of news channels covering the election results with comments, humorously demanding an RCB victory in the political arena.
Fans’ hilarious reactions
RCB fans turned the internet into a playground of humor and creativity. Live chats were filled with chants of ‘RCB RCB,’ and fans cheekily suggested that Virat Kohli should be the next prime minister, especially after his former Indian teammate Yusuf Pathan secured a Lok Sabha seat. Some fans even edited pictures of candidates to show them wearing RCB colors, bringing a much-needed dose of laughter to the serious proceedings.

RCB’s performance in IPL 2024
In the 2024 edition of the IPL, RCB scripted one of the most remarkable comebacks the league has ever seen. Despite losing seven of their first eight matches, the team rallied spectacularly, winning six consecutive games to secure a spot in the playoffs. Their campaign, however, came to an end in the Eliminator against Rajasthan Royals (RR), marking another season without the coveted trophy.
Expectations in IPL 2025 to end their trophy drought
As RCB looks ahead to the 2025 IPL season, fans are hopeful that their team will finally break the trophy drought. With a solid core of players and the indomitable spirit that characterized their 2024 comeback, RCB supporters remain optimistic that the next season could be theirs. The anticipation is palpable, and the RCB wave shows no signs of receding, both on the field and online.
