 The most significant development around Virat Kohli in the past few days is his public response to the tragic stampede during RCB’s 2025 IPL victory parade in Bengaluru. After three long months of virtual silence from both him and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru franchise, Kohli finally broke his silence in an emotional statement released through the team’s official social media channels. He described June 4 as a day that should have been the pinnacle of happiness for RCB—after all, it was their first IPL title after 18 years—but instead, it was overshadowed by heartbreaking loss. Kohli said, "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," as quoted by RCB on X and reported widely by The Indian Express and The Economic Times.

This statement isn’t just an emotional gesture—it marks a shift in how Kohli and RCB are handling public accountability, following widespread criticism from the Karnataka government and a formal inquiry that found RCB and event organizers responsible for the chaos and lack of adequate crowd control. The franchise, with Kohli’s support, has since promised a series of meaningful actions: they’ve announced a compensation of Rs 25 lakh for each of the 11 bereaved families, and they’re planning to build a memorial in the city to honor the deceased fans. Additionally, RCB launched a foundation—RCB Cares—with a mandate to work with sporting authorities and league partners to improve crowd management and safety at large public gatherings moving forward, according to Economic Times coverage.

In the realm of business and endorsements, while Kohli remains one of the biggest faces in Indian advertising, there has been a notable shift in the celebrity endorsement landscape in early 2025. According to the Economic Times Brand Equity, overall celebrity endorsements on Indian television adspace declined by 12 percent versus 2023, with film stars dominating, while sporting icons like Kohli, though still lucrative, faced stiffer competition.

On the lighter side, the deep emotional impact of this IPL victory and its tragic aftermath has resonated with Kohli’s extended fan community. GoDaddy’s blog recently featured a tech worker who described wearing his RCB jersey to work to celebrate the win and called himself an unapologetic Kohli and RCB fan—a reminder that Kohli's legacy is woven into the cultural fabric far beyond cricket.

As for major headlines in the last 24 hours, Kohli’s statement on the Bengaluru tragedy remains the top story, with every major Indian news outlet covering his words and the franchise’s announced measures at length.
