In a heartwarming display of cricket fandom transcending rivalries, a passionate Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) supporter was spotted at Lahore. During England vs Afghanistan Champions Trophy match at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, a fan from the crowd was highlighted because of his love for the Indian franchise.

The fan, whose identity is unknown, was spotted donning RCB’s iconic black and green jersey, enthusiastically cheering and waving at the camera, igniting cheers from the crowd and sparking a social media frenzy.

Pakistan Goes Gaga Over Kohli And RCB

The viral moment underscored the far-reaching influence of the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, particularly in Pakistan, where RCB enjoys a massive following despite the absence of Pakistani players in the squad. 

The incident comes days after Pakistani fans made headlines for celebrating Virat Kohli’s match-winning century against Pakistan in a high-stakes Champions Trophy clash earlier this year. 

Notably, RCB is set to clash against KKR on March 22 in a grand opening of the IPL 2025. With Rajat Patidar leading the charge this season, all eyes will be on Kohli as well to see whether he can maintain his shining form in the IPL or not.

Man With Indian Flag Beaten At Karachi

However, a recent incident in Karachi garnered attention for an unpleasant cause. During the England vs Australia match, a fan waving an Indian flag was spotted at the crowd and in a viral video, officials were seen dragging the man from the stadium while snatching the Indian flag.

While no explanation has come from PCB regarding this action, this might have political repercussions from both sides of the border. Regardless, the tournament hosted by Pakistan is sailing smoothly so far though the hosts themselves are virtually out of the tournament.
