Should teams implement strict crowd management policies during the ceremony?
Gavaskar mentioned that RCB’s long -standing slogan, “EE Sala Cup Namde” (this year, Cup is ours), was more burden than inspiration. The irony is that this year, when the slogan was less prominent, RCB played “some magnificent cricket”, which was making a new IPL record by winning all its distant games.Talking sympathetically about the devotion of the fans, he said: “All those who wanted were a glimpse of the players who gave them so much joy … It was fully understood to their bliss that no boundary was known.”
Gavaskar concluded by underlining fans of deep connections with the game and its stars: “We were not all fans of anyone before … maybe even touching them, maybe even get a quick photo with them?”The tragedy gives a reminiscent of the need for better mob management, even in moments of enthusiasm.
