Before the RCB vs CSK match, a fan has “comically plotted” to bypass security protocols during the game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are set to clash on Saturday, May 18, with a potential spot in the IPL 2024 playoffs on the line.
RCB, after losing seven of their first eight league matches, are on a five-game winning streak. In contrast, CSK’s form has been inconsistent, with three losses in their last five games.
Ahead of this crucial match, which is already being considered a possible knockout, a fan has “comically planned” to breach the security protocols at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
In a viral video, the fan revealed that he recently attended an RCB game to devise his strategy for entering the playing field. He noted that most of the stands inside the stadium are surrounded by barricades and inverted spikes, but he has found a way to access one of the two stands without such obstacles.

Once the video went viral, people began tagging the Bengaluru police in social media posts to alert them about the potential security breach.
