Bengaluru Cab Driver Offers Chocolates To All Customers After RCB’s WPL Win

Bengaluru witnessed a historic moment on Sunday evening after Royal Challengers Bangalore registered a thumping win against Delhi Capitals in the Women’s Premier League 2024. Even as videos of RCB fans thronging the streets of the city surfaced on social media, Team Bengaluru received congratulatory messages from all walks of life. Another die-hard fan chose to celebrate RCB’s feat in a simple yet unique way.

The man, a cab driver, distributed chocolates to whoever boarded his car, marking RCB’s enthralling win. One of the commuters shared a picture of this beautiful gesture on his X handle. “Got into the cab this morning in namma Bengaluru and got this chocolate from the cab driver! He’s giving out chocolates to all his customers today! Why? Because RCB won. This city, its fans and the love – Unreal!” he wrote in the caption.

The ‘peak Bengaluru’ moment soon grabbed eyeballs of the social media crowd. Reacting to the photograph, a user said, “RCB fans are truly awesome.” Another noted, “Namma Bengaluru and the people of the city are Amazing. Their love and Passion for Cricket/RCB is so inspirational.” One of the commenters simply wrote, “awwwwwwwww.” Another comment read, “This is huge!!!!!”

RCB sent the cricket fraternity into a frenzy as they were crowned the new WPL champions. They achieved the remarkable feat by beating Delhi by eight wickets. After losing out on a playoff spot in the inaugural edition of the tournament in 2023, Bengaluru beat defending champions Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator, before inflicting a second consecutive WPL final loss on DC.

Former RCB Men’ skipper Virat Kohli congratulated the winning team, calling them ‘Superwomen’ on Instagram. He also facetimed captain Smriti Mandhana and spoke to her following the victory.

RCB Women became the first-ever Bangalore side – men or women – to win the title (IPL or WPL). The RCB Men’s team reached the IPL final thrice in 2009, 2011 and 2016 but finished on the losing side on all three occasions.
