The tour looks well-organized, hitting all the right notes. My only respectful criticism: I hope the franchise management ensures this grassroots connection continues beyond the glamour of the launch and into the season, with affordable tickets for local fans.

Heartwarming to see elders blessing the team. In our culture, such blessings (aashirwaad) are considered very powerful. The team now carries the hopes of the entire city. Go Royals!
