Gujarat Police informed the RCB team about the threat, prompting the immediate cancellation of today’s practice session scheduled with the Rajasthan Royals and the press conference.

Police officer Vijay Singh Jwala stated that as soon as they informed the RCB management about Virat’s security threat, they immediately canceled all practice sessions, including the one supposed to happen at Gujarat College ground in Ahmedabad on Tuesday to prepare for the knockout match, and even the press conference scheduled for this evening before the eliminator match against the Rajasthan Royals. The police official added that they also informed the Rajasthan Royals team about the terrorist threat, but they chose to proceed with their practice session. Even the security around the hotel where the RCB team is currently staying has been tightened.

As of now, there is no news circulating about the cancellation of today’s eliminator match between RCB and Rajasthan Royals. Police officials are currently investigating further into the matter, and another official statement will soon be released regarding the entire case.
