It was natural to celebrate in Bengaluru after the victory of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), but the way the celebrations continued inside the Chinnaswamy Stadium despite the death of 11 fans outside would be called the height of insensitivity. However, several hours after the incident, RCB and Virat Kohli posted on Instagram and expressed condolences.
