'Ee Sala-nu Cup Namde': Bengaluru celebrates early, fans flood social media with victory messages for RCB

BENGALURU: By the end of the 15th over, with Gujarat Titans reeling at six wickets down, Bengaluru had already begun celebrating. Even before the result was officially confirmed, RCB fans flooded X with congratulatory messages, reviving the slogan "Ee Sala Bhi Cup Namde" as the team edged closer to a second consecutive IPL title.

Pakshal Jain (@Pakshalchajjed) tweeted: “BACK-TO-BACK CHAMPIONS! History has been witnessed! From "Ee Sala Cup Namde" to "Ee Sala-nu Cup Namde"! Huge congratulations to RCB on winning consecutive #IPL titles.”

Third Man View (@3rdManView) commented: “Exactly what separates good attacks from championship attacks. When the ball stopped swinging, RCB didn't keep hoping for magic. They adapted. Hard lengths, disciplined lines and relentless pressure. Tonight has been a masterclass in game awareness. RCB can almost taste the victory now.”

NoFace Analyst (@NofaceAnalyst01) commented: “RCB really said one trophy wasn't enough. If history repeats itself, the trophy is loading back to Bangalore once again!”
