Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have suffered their third defeat in IPL 2023. Chennai Super Kings defeated Faf du Plessis’s RCB by 8 runs in Monday’s match. This is RCB’s third defeat in five matches in the current IPL season. And the team has reached the 7th position in the table. Talking about RCB in the tournament, there has been a lack of consistency in its performance, and the team cannot ‘click’ together in both the batting and bowling areas.
On the other hand, the fan’s anger is about the fact that despite the presence of star players like Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Mohammed Siraj and Wanindu Hasaranga, the team is losing one after the other.
This anger of the fans was seen when after the defeat from CSK, RCB tweeted, “Spirit of the game, In the end, the sport always wins!”
After the match, photos of the players of both teams meeting and talking to each other were also posted. Of course, this tweet was done in good spirits, but the fans showered harsh comments against RCB.
Expressing anger over RCB’s tweet, a fan wrote- Yes, social media marketing kar lo sab. Khel always wins; when will RCB win?
Another wrote – Will we be able to win too?
A fan tweeted – The game always wins because RCB never wins.
A fan wrote in his response that an aggressive style could take you a certain distance, but victory requires strategy, innovation and an action plan.
Another raised question on the presence of Shahbaz Ahmed and Harshal Patel in the playing XI.
RCB got this defeat due to the failure of the batters in the crucial moments. In response to CSK’s score of 226 runs, despite losing the wickets of Virat Kohli and Mahipal Lormor at the score of 15, RCB was chasing the target in the best way. Due to the stormy batting of Captain Faf du Plessis and Maxwell, the score was 141 for one wicket after 12 overs, and only 86 runs were needed in eight overs to win. As soon as Maxwell (76 runs off 36 balls) was dismissed in the 13th over and Faf du Plessis (62 runs off 36 balls) in the 14th over, the other RCB batters lost their hands, and in 20 overs, the team could score only 218 runs losing 8 wickets.
