Former captain of the Australian side, Michael Clarke had some things to say about the unfortunate crush, calling it heartbreaking and a sad end to a beautiful cricketing season. He hopes that something like this does not take place again and that it does not build a bigger wall between the players and the fans. 11 persons died while many others sustained injuries during the Royal Challengers Bengaluru victory parade for its maiden IPL title. The festival was perhaps suffering poor infrastructure, free tickets to the public, and very huge crowds.
“Any situation is very unfortunate and sad when a person gets hurt or worse,” said Clarke on the Beyond23 Cricket podcast. He hopes the celebrations with the fans will never be stopped because of this. “Fans deserve to celebrate with the players. Our thoughts go out to the families of those who have been affected. It is so tragic.”

Additionally, Clarke spoke further of Sudharsan as a capable contender for India’s number three spot for the upcoming Test series against England, complimenting him on his IPL 2025 performance.
