Bengaluru Police issued an advisory before the IPL 2026 final, urging fans to be extra cautious.
With big celebrations expected, authorities fear large crowds and have set special rules in place.
Police have banned public celebrations, bike rallies, stunts, loud honking, and road blockades after the final, if RCB wins. No LED screens are allowed facing the roads.
LED walls can only show the game outside pubs or venues, not facing roads. Police have banned firecrackers and urged everyone to follow rules and stay calm in crowds.
When RCB won the first-ever title in 2025, a stampede happened near the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Last-minute parade changes and rumours of free tickets led to huge crowds rushing the narrow gates.
If RCB wins again, Bengaluru could see massive celebrations. Police are preparing for large crowds.
RCB can become the third team to win a title back-to-back. All eyes are now on RCB's players to see how they manage the pressure and stay calm.
