Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is no stranger to being the butt of IPL jokes, due to their history of never winning a single IPL trophy, despite boasting legends like Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers over the years. In fact, the team has reached the finals thrice but has never clinched the elusive IPL trophy. Yet, RCB fans are unwavering in their loyalty, passionately supporting the team season after season. One fan has now taken his devotion to a divine level¡ªdipping the RCB jersey in the holy Ganges at the Mahakumbh. The video of this unique gesture has gone viral, sparking a flurry of reactions online.
Watch the video here:
The Instagram video titled "Maha Kumbh Mela. RCB forever" is going viral.
The clip features a devoted RCB fan alongside a sadhu, holding the team¡¯s jersey.?
With great enthusiasm, the fan dips the iconic jersey three times into the holy Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati rivers meet.
The Mahakumbh, one of the world's largest religious gatherings, takes place every 12 years across four sacred locations¡ªPrayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik, and Ujjain. For millions of Hindus, it's a time to cleanse their sins and embrace spiritual renewal through a holy dip.
By immersing the jersey, this superfan seems to be symbolically "cleansing" RCB's IPL misfortunes, seeking divine blessings for a fresh start¡ªand perhaps their first-ever trophy!
The internet's reaction to the video was as hilarious as the fan's holy dip itself.
One user hailed the fan as an "Off-field impact player for RCB."
Another cheekily wrote, "RCB Men's team - Eh Sala Cup Namde," invoking the team's infamous slogan, which translates to "This year, the cup is ours."
Someone quipped, "Bhai, sorry, but even God can't make RCB win the IPL."
Another joked, "Maybe try dipping the players instead of the jersey next time."
And a classic punchline: "Bas dhyan rakhna, utna bhi mat dubana ki buri tarah se dub jaye."
