The Indian Premier League (IPL) has transformed into much more than a mere cricket tournament; it is now a full-fledged cultural movement in India. Every season sees the fans go into overdrive, cheering for their favourite teams with great passion, and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) franchise tends to be in the limelight quite frequently. Though they are the home to some of the sport's largest stars and have an enormous following, RCB still has no IPL title. This consistent failure has been a rallying cry among their fans and also something that brings laughs, quite frequently in the form of memes.
Sarthak Sachdeva’s QR code experiment riding the wave of RCB’s fan culture
Riding on the wave of RCB's fan culture and its light-hearted reputation, content creator Sarthak Sachdeva initiated a social experiment that took off in no time. His concept was simple yet smart: he printed QR codes connected to his payment account with the phrase, "Donate Rs 10 for RCB Goodluck," and pasted them on public surfaces, including walls, poles, and street corners.
The video recording of this experiment starts with Sarthak going about the city, placing the QR codes with a calm smile. At first, the idea was light and nearly ridiculous, but it soon took a dramatic turn. Folks started seeing the codes, scanning them, and paying, as if out of their RCB love or maybe just out of fun in doing something so offbeat. By day's end, Sarthak had collected Rs 1,200 from complete strangers, demonstrating just how eager people were to embrace the concept in a funny, carefree manner.
RCB’s fan reactions and hopes amidst their ongoing IPL journey
The offbeat video quickly collected enormous traction, with 3.5 million views and an avalanche of reactions in comments. Some of the users joked that the idea was a new business venture, while others jokingly wished that RCB would win the IPL if they were helping it succeed. One of the comments jokingly said, "Iske baad agr RCB na jeete toh ro dungi," which reflected the hopes of the fans for an RCB win despite the current drought of titles.
At the time of the last reports, RCB is placed second in the IPL points table with seven wins from ten matches. Remarkably, all these wins have come on the road, proving how they can handle pressure situations. The record of RCB at home has been less impressive, though, and their defeats this season have come at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. As the season nears its final stretch, this inconsistency at home is a concern for fans, especially with four remaining matches, including three at home. To maintain their momentum and secure a playoff spot, RCB will need to overcome these home-ground struggles.
