Overview
- A commuter’s photo shared Saturday on X by Mahika Jadhav showed a handwritten sign in a Bengaluru auto offering a free ride to anyone wearing a Royal Challengers Bengaluru jersey.
- The note referenced the RCB–Sunrisers Hyderabad opener and read “E Sala Cup Namdu 2.0” and “RCB forever,” signaling confidence in a back‑to‑back title run.
- The image quickly spread across social media and was picked up by Indian outlets including India Today, Republic World, and the Free Press Journal.
- Times Now reported it could not independently verify the post or who placed the sign, and some commenters speculated the passenger might have taped it up.
- The chant “Ee Sala Cup Namde” means “This year, the cup is ours,” and its use in an auto shows how IPL support in Bengaluru often spills into routine services like transport and small business promotions.
