However, the celebrations in Bengaluru ended in tragedy. A huge crowd gathered outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium for the team's event. This led to a stampede in which at least 11 people lost their lives and 33 others were injured. Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced a compensation of Rs 10 lakh for the families of those who lost their lives.
Kohli shared his sorrow in an Instagram post, writing, “At a loss for words. Absolutely gutted.”
