RCB were heading for elimination after winning just one of their first eight games, but they won their next six by large margins and defeated defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a virtual knockout match to secure the final playoff spot on net-run-rate. After losing to RR, the trophy drought continues at 17 years. The team’s performance this season has garnered praise from fans, pundits, and players.
Also, Virat remarked in a video shared by RCB’s official X Twitter that the franchise’s first half of the season was poor and they didn’t play well as cricketers. However, he will remember his team’s resilience.
“We played poorly in the first half of the season. So, we failed to meet cricketing criteria. We expressed ourselves and played for self-respect. Our trust returned. The turnaround and qualification were remarkable. It took courage from the boys, therefore I’ll always remember it “stated.
Sport is not a fairytale, and our #IPL2024 journey ended. Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Dinesh Karthik thank fans for their steadfast support.
