BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) confirmed about the safe return of its players and support staff to Bengaluru on Saturday, adding that all of them have subsequently departed for their respective residences.

RCB were supposed to play their IPL 2025 game against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday evening. But the game didn’t happen as the BCCI paused IPL 2025 for one week due to growing cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan.

“Our players and extended staff have safely returned to Bengaluru and are now homebound to their respective cities and countries. We’re deeply grateful for the swift coordination and support from the BCCI, local authorities, and the police who made this possible,” said the franchise in its social media posts featuring pictures of Virat Kohli, Yash Dayal and Josh Hazlewood.
