RCB's title celebration, however, turned melancholic as a stampede broke out Chinnaswamy stadium - RCB's home ground - in Bengaluru on June 4 in which 11 people lost their lives and more than 30 were injured.
The franchise has announced an ex-gratia of INR 1 million for each victim along with RCB Cares Fund to help the victims of the tragic incident.
