The match between Punjab Kings and RCB saw a dramatic six-run win by Bangalore. The electrifying finish had 12 runs needed off the last ball. Though Shashank Singh struck a six, it wasn’t enough to prevent an RCB victory. The scenes that followed were a testament to the unifying power of cricket—strangers turned into comrades, and even wedding festivities transformed into an impromptu fan rally.

Meanwhile, celebrations erupted across the country. Streets and junctions were filled with crowds as the sound of firecrackers and chants of “Ee Sala Cup Namde” echoed through the night. The excitement even prompted police intervention to manage overflowing crowds in some areas.
