'RCB and their luck': Royal Challengers Bengaluru fans' hilarious reactions on IPL 2025 suspension midway go viral

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday suspended the ongoing 18th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) due to the soaring tension between two South Asian nations, India and Pakistan. The decision has been taken to ensure the safety of Indian and international cricketers, and it has been lauded by cricket fans across the world. Earlier today, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) extended support to the BCCI's decision and shared posts on its official social media handles. ''Courage in every step. Pride in every heartbeat. Saluting our armed forces!'' CSK wrote along with the post. However, fans of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have been blaming their team's luck after the IPL 2025 suspension. Soon after the news of IPL 2025 suspension went viral, RCB fans have been sharing hilarious posts on social media, cursing their franchise's luck in the tournament for the last 18 years.
