Viral video: CSK and RCB fans go head-to-head outside Chinnaswamy Stadium after thrilling match, watch

After Royal Challengers Bengaluru's narrow two-run victory over Chennai Super Kings on Saturday, May 3, at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, tensions escalated outside the venue. A video is circulating on social media which shows a heated exchange between a Chennai Super Kings fan and two Royal Challengers Bengaluru supporters, transforming the post-match atmosphere into a scene of fan rivalry.

The Chennai Super Kings fan, displaying a poster of MS Dhoni celebrating the IPL 2023 title, engaged in a verbal dispute with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru fans immediately after the match. The cause of the argument is not fully known, but both parties exchanged accusations of verbal provocation and disrespect. The confrontation intensified rapidly, leading to police intervention to prevent further escalation.

The recent altercation is not an isolated incident, as evidenced by a viral video from last season's IPL Eliminator match, where a Royal Challengers Bengaluru supporter was seen in a physical confrontation with a group, including a Chennai Super Kings fan.

The exact cause of the disagreement is still not clear, but both sides appeared to exchange blame over alleged remarks.
