New Delhi: Virat Kohli has finally broken his silence by issuing an emotional statement on the June 4 tragedy that marred the Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s victory celebration.
“Nothing in life really prepares you for a heartbreak like June 4th. What should’ve been the happiest moment in our franchise’s history… turned into something tragic. I’ve been thinking of and praying for the families of those we lost… and for our fans who were injured. Your loss is part of our story now. Together, we will move forward with care, respect and responsibility,” Kohli said in a note posted on RCB’s official X account.
On June 4, what began as a jubilant victory parade in Bengaluru turned into chaos when massive crowds led to a stampede-like situation, claiming 11 lives and severely injuring 50 fans.
