RCB faces a tough defeat against RR in the Eliminator match, ending their IPL run. Read more here!

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) faced a tough defeat against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the IPL 2024 Eliminator match. Despite a valiant effort from players like Kohli, Patidar, and Lomror who all hit 30s to give RCB a total of 172, it was not enough to stop RR from securing the win. Former India captain K Srikkanth criticized RCB for overcelebrating their victory against CSK in a previous match, which may have affected their performance in the crucial game. Faf du Plessis, the former Proteas captain and RCB player, expressed pride in the team's fightback, even though their IPL title cabinet remains empty.

AB de Villiers was visibly emotional after RCB's loss to RR, crushing the dreams of many loyal fans. Despite a strong rally towards the end of the season with six consecutive wins, RCB fell short in the playoffs. Die-hard RCB supporters, heartbroken but still chanting 'mundina salaa cup namde' (the cup will be ours next time), showed unwavering loyalty to their team.

In a dramatic turn of events, RCB cancelled a practice session due to a heatwave, dispelling rumors of a terror threat. This unexpected twist added to the already intense atmosphere surrounding the team. Coach Andy Flower credited the team's remarkable comeback to stalwarts like du Plessis and Kohli, highlighting the importance of specific skill sets in the game.

As the IPL season comes to a close for RCB, fans and critics alike reflect on the highs and lows of the team's journey. Despite the disappointment of their exit, RCB's resilience and fan support remain unwavering, setting the stage for future seasons with renewed hope and determination.
