Loving Royal Challengers Bengaluru is like falling for someone who constantly breaks your heart, yet you keep running back with open arms. You know they’ll hurt you again. You know the promises of glory might end in tears. And still, you hope. You hope because you’ve seen them touch brilliance. You’ve seen them flirt with perfection. You’ve seen them come agonisingly close to lifting the trophy.
Every IPL begins the same way—E Sala Cup Namde echoes through Chinnaswamy, as thousands of hopeful hearts chant in unison. The fireworks, the flags, the sea of red and gold—it’s all part of the ritual, the prayer, the plea. This year. This time. This is it. The chant isn’t just a slogan—it’s the pulse of a billion hopes beating as one.
You remember the nights of ecstasy—the day Virat Kohli bled for the badge, literally. The day AB de Villiers made the impossible look mundane. The day Chris Gayle rewrote the laws of batting with a tornado that left bowlers and statisticians shell-shocked. You’ve celebrated these moments like they were titles because, for you, they were.

But you also remember the heartbreaks. Oh, the heartbreaks. You remember the finals of 2009, 2011, and 2016—the three times your dream was an inch away, only to be snatched by fate. You remember the eliminations that came too soon, the collapses that came too quick, and the silence in the stands when the final wicket fell. You’ve watched rival fans smirk and say, “RCB? Cup-less for 17 years.” You’ve smiled through the pain because you knew—you knew you would still turn up next year, still say, E Sala Cup Namde.
Being an RCB fan is about romance. It’s about believing in love, even when it’s unrequited. It’s about watching Kohli fist-pump after a cover drive, knowing it’s only two runs on the board, but it feels like two years of hope condensed into a single shot. It’s about getting chills when Chinnaswamy roars, not because they’ve won the trophy, but because they’ve just won a game that kept the dream alive.
RCB doesn’t just play cricket. They make you feel—deeply, achingly, fiercely. They make you cry tears of joy and despair, sometimes in the same match. They leave you broken, but never faithless. You will wear their colours, scream their name, and believe once again. Because one day, they will lift that elusive trophy. And when they do, the tears that will fall won’t just be of joy—they will be the release of 17 years of unwavering love. And you’ll whisper through trembling lips, E Sala Cup Namdu.
