After a brilliant run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bowed out of the tournament after a defeat against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Eliminator. CSK star Ambati Rayudu took a dig at RCB's overconfidence, saying that celebrations and aggression do not win IPL trophies. RCB skipper Faf du Plessis praised his team's effort and character, but acknowledged that they fell short in terms of pushing for an extra 20 runs in the crucial match.
After RCB's loss to RR in the IPL 2024 Playoffs, CSK fans took to social media to celebrate their rival team's defeat. RCB's dream run ended after needing a win by a margin of 18 runs against CSK in their last league game. CSK fans, who had the last laugh, posted viral memes on social media to mark their celebrations.
Former RCB owner Vijay Mallya took to social media platform X to express his confidence in the franchise's chances of winning their maiden IPL title this year. Mallya recalled his decision to buy RCB and star player Virat Kohli during the first IPL season and stated that it was the best decision he could have made. He congratulated RCB on their recent victory and expressed his support for the team in the upcoming playoffs.
