‘Very Disappointing’: Rahul Dravid Reacts To Bengaluru Stampede – Cricket.com

Just one day after Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)’s historic first IPL title, the city turned into a nightmare, as at least 11 people were dead in a stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium. The incident, which occurred on June 4 (Wednesday), turned the most memorable moment for the franchise into a tragedy that has put a black mark on the franchise. 
One of Bengaluru’s finest cricketers, Rahul Dravid, has finally broken the silence, calling the entire incident ‘very disappointing’. 
"Very disappointing. It's very sad. Bengaluru is a sports-passionate city. I come from here. People over here love all sports, not just cricket,” Dravid told NDTV. 
In the aftermath of that incident, plenty have either stepped down from their position or have been sacked from it. Dravid added that such a tragedy shouldn’t have happened in the first place, adding that his thoughts are with the people who lost their loved ones. 
“They follow all the sports and also all the sporting teams, be it a football team or a kabaddi team. It's really heartbreaking that such an unfortunate incident happened. Our thoughts go out to everyone for unfortunately lost their lives and those who were injured." Dravid said. 
"Such a tragedy shouldn't have happened."
According to Hindustan Times, RCB’s marketing head, Nikhil Sosale, has been denied an interim relief. Further, the Karnataka High Court also restrained officials from taking any action against RCB or their event partner, DNA Entertainment Pvt Ltd, till June 12.
