June 3 is not just a date, it’s destiny.
It’s the day when hopeful hearts, red jerseys, and thunderous chants of “Ee Sala Cup Namde” will echo through the streets of Ahmedabad.
RCB has made it to the final. Again.
But this time… it feels different.
And RCB fans? They’re doing it differently too. No more pricey flights. No last-minute cancellations. No hunting for cheap airfares.
This season, fans are booking buses and loving every second of the journey.
Why Are Buses Winning Hearts This IPL Season?
Let’s be honest half the fun of cricket fandom lies in the build-up, not just the match.
And what better way to build up than a coach full of fans, all heading to one place, singing the same chants, and dreaming the same dream?
Here’s why intercity buses are the new Cricket Express:
- No Flight Frustrations: No surge pricing. No rescheduling stress. No traffic rush to the airport.
- Travel Together, Celebrate Together: Whole groups of friends can book the same bus. No splitting up. No “see you at the hotel.”
- Chants, Cheers & Chai: On a bus, you get to scream “Kohliiiii!” out the window and high-five strangers in RCB caps.
- The Stadium Vibe Starts at Departure: You don’t wait for the stadium to start the match vibe. It begins the moment you step onto the coach.
Why This IPL Final Means More Than Ever Before?
RCB’s 4th Final Appearance
After heartbreaks in 2009, 2011, and 2016 this is RCB’s moment to finally bring the trophy home.
A Decade of Passion
10 playoff appearances. Thousands of matches were watched. Countless memes made. Sleepless nights. This final is the culmination.
Qualifier 1 Win = Title Momentum?
Since 2018, every team that won Qualifier 1 went on to win the final. Fans know this stat. They’re not just watching history, they want to be part of it.
Ahmedabad Is the Final Frontier
The grandest cricket stadium in the world. A sea of red. And possibly, the most emotional night in RCB history.
RCB Fans Are Traveling with Fire in Their Hearts
And they’re doing it in style.
If you hop on a coach from Delhi to Ahmedabad, here’s what you’ll probably see:
- Fans in full jersey, head to toe
- Giant RCB flags tucked into luggage
- Someone already crying listening to “Shayad” on loop (we see you, Riya)
- Homemade posters that say “FINALLY!”
- Snacks named “Virat Veg Puffs”
- One friend in every group who has painted their face since 6 AM
This isn’t a commute. This is a pilgrimage.
What Happens on the Bus… Becomes a Reel
Modern bus rides = Instagrammable moments + Cricket nostalgia + Fun with friends.
Some typical moments that make the perfect video journal:
- Departure Clip: Boarding the bus, panning to your jersey
- Mid-Journey Madness: Fans singing “RCB! RCB!”
- Slow-Mo Window Shot: Rainy window, playlist on, “Dil Diyan Gallan” playing
- Cricket Trivia Battles: “Who remembers what Kohli scored in the 2016 final?”
- Stopover Vlogging: Late-night chai stall interviews
- Countdown Reel: 100 km to Ahmedabad… 50 km… 10 km… STADIUM!
Your camera roll will look like a Netflix cricket documentary.
Pit Stops With Purpose
On the road to Ahmedabad, you’re not just stopping for samosas.
You’re stopping to:
- Meet fans from other cities
- See kids waving RCB flags at dhabas
- Take selfies with random uncles in red jerseys
- Debate over whether Kohli or ABD was the real MVP
- Paint your face again, because the first layer melted from excitement
It’s not just a road trip. It’s a community on wheels.
What Every IPL Bus Rider Should Pack
If you’re heading to Ahmedabad on a coach, here’s your ultimate cricket-fan checklist:
- Team Jersey (duh)
- Power Bank (because you will film everything)
- Eye Mask (if you even sleep)
- Chants Printed Out (bonus points for originality)
- Small Flag (or big flag, no judgment)
- Poster that says: “I skipped my cousin’s wedding for this!”
- Snacks (enough to share)
- Warm hoodie (bus AC goes wild sometimes)
- Nail paint, face paint, anything red
- A voice ready to scream from the rooftops
It’s Not Just RCB It’s a Fan Culture Movement
While RCB fans are leading the bus brigade, fans of Mumbai, Punjab, Chennai, and even Delhi Capitals are hopping onto coaches this season.
Because the vibe is unmatched:
- Coaches turn into mobile fan zones
- Rival fans exchange banter with respect (mostly)
- Every state’s bus has its own flavor and fire
- Coaches are the new stadium gates the passion starts there
The Arrival – A Sea of Red in Ahmedabad
Imagine this:
- Hundreds of buses pull in.

- The sun sets over the world’s biggest cricket stadium.
- And for the first time, it feels real.
