As cross-border incidents intensified and a clear military standoff unfolded, all attention turned to the safety and well-being of the country. Meanwhile, the BCCI had no choice but to suspend the IPL 2025 season indefinitely. In response to the suspension, RCB took to X (previously known as Twitter) with a message that reflected grace and solidarity.

This year was shaping up to be a landmark one for Indian cricket. But instead of celebrations, it brought an abrupt, sobering reality check. With rising military tensions between India and Pakistan, the Indian government heightened national security alerts.

How did the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fraternity react?

“In this hour of national crisis, we salute the unwavering courage and bravery of our Indian Armed Forces, and pray for the safety of everyone in India. Jai Hind. 🇮🇳🙏”

In moments like these, everything else takes a backseat, and rightly so. But while most fans understood the bigger picture, there is no denying the heartbreak this announcement brought, especially in Bengaluru.

For a fanbase that has waited 18 long seasons to see their team lift the trophy, the timing couldn’t have been more painful. This isn’t the first time RCB fans have felt the sting of cruel timing. In 2021, the team was in red-hot form before the tournament was paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

When the IPL resumed, momentum had faded, and their campaign lost steam. Fast forward to 2025, and history feels like it’s repeating itself. Two seasons where RCB had the firepower and form, both interrupted by forces far beyond the cricket field.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), led by a composed Rajat Patidar and backed by the iconic Virat Kohli, were finally playing the kind of cricket fans had dreamed of for years. The team looked confident, balanced, and determined this season. They are second on the IPL 2025 points table with 16 points (8 wins, 3 defeats) and are on the verge of qualifying for the playoffs.

Many, while devastated by the news, put their love for the country above all else. One fan expressed it perfectly: “Nothing over country. Love you, RCB. We will try our best for next year. You guys have done a great job this time. Lots of love.”

Another poured their heart out: “I am so sad & heartbroken that IPL got suspended but can’t do anything. Nation comes first. When will RCB win? Don’t know. But I love that team so much. Praying for our soldiers, they are giving it all for protecting this land and us. Just feeling numb.”
