Ahmedabad, India – Web Desk: Players and support staff of Gujarat Titans escaped unharmed after a fire broke out on the team’s bus following the IPL 2026 final, according to Indian media reports.
The incident occurred on Sunday night as the Gujarat Titans squad was returning to its hotel from Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad after suffering defeat in the tournament final.
Reports said a short circuit triggered a fire inside the bus, causing smoke to spread through the vehicle. The driver quickly identified the danger and brought the bus to a halt, allowing all players and staff members to evacuate safely.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
Team members were left waiting by the roadside for more than an hour before a replacement bus arrived and transported them safely to their hotel.
The incident has drawn attention across the cricket community, although prompt action by the driver helped prevent what could have been a far more serious accident.
