Their absence will echo in the memories of everyone”. The RCB team secured their inaugural IPL title by overcoming Shreyas iyer’s Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the final.

RCB further said, “No form of assistance can ever replace the emptiness created by their absence. Nevertheless, as an initial gesture and with profound regard, RCB has donated 25 lakh Indian rupees to support their families. This act is not merely financial aid, but a commitment to compassion, solidarity, and ongoing support.”
