Yet Again, RCB’s wish for an IPL Title remains incomplete as Rajasthan Royals won the eliminator round by 4 runs in yesterday’s thrilling match. Thus, moving to the qualifier 2 round.
Thus, leaving RR fans in a jubilant mood. But it was CSK supporters, who were happiest of the lot, as the yellow fans were still smarting over their defeat.
As a result, they couldn’t help but indulge in the fun of trolling Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Following RCB’s dramatic exit, the fans of Dhoni started to poke fun at Virat Kohli and his team, by filling social media with memes and jabs. Making X a battleground, but the difference is, the opponents are armed with banter.

Two people, even carried the poster in Tripura, in which it was written “Next Sala Cup Namde.”
Looking at the memes, celebrations and Jabs, this shows, how deep the rivalry between RCB and CSK is.
This IPL season it has been exacerbated more, ever since RCB has managed to defeat yellow team by 27 runs. Thus, entering playoffs.
However, what’s notable is, that RCB’s innings started on a promising note, as captain Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli played as openers. But they fell early to Trent Boult.
Despite the frequent wickets taken by RR (Rajasthan Royals), RCB still managed to make the score of 172/8.
Later, in the second innings, the steady start provided by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tom Kohler-Cadmore, which was followed by crucial partnership between Riyan Parag and Shimron Hetmyer. Thus, turning the game in RR’s favour.
