Bengaluru auto-rickshaw driver gives free rides to RCB fans in match-day offer
A Bengaluru auto driver offered free rides to passengers wearing RCB jerseys on match day, with the now-viral post emphasising the city's deep love for cricket and team spirit.
An auto-rickshaw driver in Bengaluru has won hearts on social media after he attached a note in his vehicle to his passengers, giving a generous match-day offer to RCB fans.
The post, shared on X by Mahika Jadhav, was a classic example of the emotional hold cricket has in India, before zooming into a scene from a regular auto ride that felt anything but ordinary.
In the image, the back of an auto driver’s seat carried a handwritten note taped neatly for passengers to read. It announced a match day offer, free rides for anyone wearing an RCB jersey. The message was simple, scribbled on a sheet of paper, but it carried the kind of excitement that usually filled stadiums, now spilling onto the streets.
In the caption of her post, Mahika wrote, “There’s something about cricket in India that you can’t really explain. It’s been there since childhood, in the background of every home, every conversation, every summer. And then IPL comes around, and suddenly it’s everywhere again.”
She also spoke about RCB fans in particular, calling them “the most patient and loyal,” adding, “Every year it’s ‘e sala cup namde’ with the same belief, same excitement. You have to respect that kind of love for a team.”

In the comments section, people echoed that sentiment in their own way. “One of the many things that brings the city together as one,” one user wrote, pointing to how moments like these go beyond just fandom.
“This is pure love, always proud of my team and our best fans in the world,” another added, reinforcing the emotional connection several fans feel toward the team.
Across the thread, the focus stayed on how cricket, especially during IPL, quietly weaved itself into everyday life, sometimes in the form of a handwritten note on the back of an auto seat.
