Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder Krunal Pandya was stunned after watching the “unreal scenes” outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium at 12:30 am following their team’s two-run win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
In a two-and-a-half minute long video posted by RCB, thousands of RCB supporters were seen waiting for the team bus and followed it all the way to the hotel.
“Unbelievable! Unbelievable,” Krunal Pandya muttered.
“What a feeling, man, people are crazy! We feel like we are the blessed ones, right.”
After watching the reactions from the fans, Krunal Pandya vowed to end RCB’s title jinx this year.
“There’s so much support for RCB. We have to win the trophy for them. We have to. Imagine what it would be like if we do!” he said.
“That was something crazy that I experienced. Loved it, can’t express it in words. Insane.”
