A massive crowd of supporters wanting to join in the team's win celebrations caused a stampede near the stadium on Wednesday, unfortunately killing 11 people and injuring over 50 more. Gavaskar expressed his profound grief over the poor management that led to this tragedy.

In his complaint, social activist HM Venkatesh held Virat Kohli responsible for the stampede. No FIR has been registered on his complaint yet.

KSCA secretary and treasurer resign after 11 die in stampede during RCB’s victory event, accepting moral responsibility for crowd mismanagement.
