The tragedy occurred after the DC vs RCB in Delhi last Monday.
Following the match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Axar expressed his deepest condolences, stating: “I would just like to add that — following the tragedy involving our fans after the last match — I want to express my deepest condolences for their loss. I would like to dedicate this victory to them; they were two members of our DC family. Thank you all so much."
Addressing the squad in the dressing room, Badani praised the players for making the deceased fans proud with his emotional win.
“This win is dedicated to the two lads who unfortunately aren’t with us anymore, two DC fans, Yagya and Abhav Bhatia. This win is for them. I think you guys have done them proud. They are massive DC fans, they’ve been with us for a while. You might have even seen their images on Instagram. This is for them. Well done, boys, very well done. Good stuff," Badani said in his speech.
The tragedy occurred late Monday (April 27) night on Ashoka Road in central Delhi. Yagya and Abhav were returning home to Ashok Nagar on a motorcycle after watching DC’s match against RCB at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
A speeding truck allegedly hit their bike. Both were taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital but were declared dead on arrival.
Well-known in the DC Toli community, their passing triggered a widespread wave of grief across social media platforms, with fans and players alike paying respects.
