IPL 2025: RCB crumbles at Chinnaswamy again, fans call the stadium ¡®panauti¡¯ and demand a new home ground
RCB's IPL 2025 struggles at Chinnaswamy continue as they collapse to 169/8, raising concerns after a strong winning streak. Social media explodes with reactions, calling the stadium a "panauti" and urging the team to change its home ground.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) started IPL 2025 on a high note, winning games and showing promise. However, their struggles at Chinnaswamy stadium remain unchanged. After a solid counterattack from Jitesh Sharma, RCB looked in control but collapsed from 94/4 to 104/6 in a matter of overs. Despite Tim David¡¯s quick 32 off 18, the team crumbled under pressure, managing only 169/8 against Gujarat Titans (GT). Sai Kishore and Prasidh Krishna were clinical with the ball, exposing RCB's long-standing issue of failing at their home ground.
Is Chinnaswamy RCB's ¡®panauti¡¯? fans think so
While most teams enjoy home-ground advantage, RCB seems to be haunted by Chinnaswamy stadium. Fans on social media didn¡¯t hold back their frustration. One user sarcastically remarked, ¡°RCB might lose 7 out of 7 games at Chinnaswamy but will never cry like KKR and LSG.¡±

While another suggested, ¡°RCB fans, y¡¯all should sign a petition to change your home stadium to anywhere else.¡± The frustration was evident, and unless RCB finds a way to turn things around at home, the noise demanding a venue shift will only grow louder.
