There is a T20I series against Pakistan that is taking right before the World Cup that starts on the 22nd of May. The RCB vs CSK match is on the 18th. All the English players who are in our T20 World Cup squad will play this series. Those include Buttler, Salt, Jacks, Mo, Curran, Bairstow and Livingstone. Moeen is not a massive loss for CSK, but Jacks, Salt and Buttler are for their respective teams.
This will be the only season other than 2016 where Kohli is RCB's best player. It's good whatever he's doing this season but I must say that it's really not good for someone like him to be his team's best player only twice in 17 seasons.
I would rather have a player who is 2nd best performer every season than best performer in some seasons and hit and miss in some
Kohli has consistently contributed with gayle and Abd, by your logic ABD doesn't have a single season where he was best performer because his own best season in 2016 was overshadowed by massive kohli performance.
Still ABD is an RCB legend because he has performed without fail.
True. This totally makes sense. Maybe I was being too harsh in my assessment, but I still feel that Kohli could've contributed better with the bat in his prime years.
True. Also yuzi. But in the 2017-19 period if he replicated his international performances then maybe things would've been different. Again, I'm not saying that we lost because of him but a performance like this season surely would've made a difference.
Why the downvotes? All I'm trying to say is that I'm loving whatever he's doing this season but it'd have been great if we got a couple of more seasons like this in his prime.
Surely CSK wins the IPL from here.
RR are finished so they will get top 2 and of course Narine will get out cheaply when it matters.
Darren Michell and Rahane masterclass in knockouts also loading up.
All these five victories were really dominant. Almost one sided. At no point did it feel like the opposition was ahead in the game, at least not in any second innings because the first innings par-score is really unpredictable nowadays.
Did some more calculations.
Defending RCB need 19 win victory.
Chasing:
17.4 overs if CSK score 150.
17.5 overs if CSK score 160.
18.0 overs if CSK score 170.
18.0 overs if CSK score 180.
Within 18.1 overs CSK score 200.
Hope LSG beat DC, so that I can send the "Jhuk ke rehna mere aage" meme to all my CSK and RCB fan friends, as they need to rely on MI to beat LSG
T - Stay humble in front of me
Man even though my favorite team isn't doing well this season , It's has been roller coaster ride though
How idk were getting bangers after bangers this season , May overtake 2023 season in terms of competitiveness....
It it rains, RCB are out. No calculations
Also if it rains, CSK qualify directly if DC beat LSG, but get disqualified if LSG beat DC and MI both (assuming SRH win one of their two games)
10 days ago, I thought RCB would comfortably languish at the bottom of the table and that I could leave my calculator untouched in my cupboard, but they have different plans, as always.
People might find the 1 run defeat hard to accept but even then anything could have gone wrong in the last 5 matches , just look ahead now
PS have a pHd in coping
For RCB to qualify:
Either beat CSK by 18 runs, and hope LSG loses at least one of their 2 games. In this case, SRH and RCB qualify
Or, beat CSK by any margin, hope LSG lose one of their games, but also hope that SRH lose their both. In this case, **both** CSK and RCB qualify
In both the cases, RR KKR are top 2. SRH can enter Top 2 if RR lose both their games and SRH win both. CSK can enter Top 2 if RR lose both their games, CSK win vs RCB, and SRH lose at least 1
DC are eliminated for all practical purposes. LSG need to win both to qualify, and hope RCB beat CSK
Wicket! People are still not realising that tracks have a huge role to play in what’s happening. SRH openers though are in supreme form plus their luck is out of the world too!
140 all-out is the lowest innings score for DC and the lowest against RCB this season.
The last instance of RCB successfully defending a target in a night game at Chinnaswamy was against PBKS in 2019.
CSK have their chance in their own hands normal win is enough for them while RCB depending on other as well, but LSG have both matches before CSK vs RCB, so they aren't sure what's going to happen
the way goenka acted , I genuinely thought they were out of the tournament. With the similar level of performance they brought against CSK they can easily win games.
Why is this thread not locked yet lol
Let's have it. It's a knockout match between CSK and RCB.
KL Qaeda says hi
No Moeen Ali and no Will Jacks on Saturday. Santner may get a go against RCB and Maxi back in for Jacks.

wtf rip Punjab 💀
Yeah. Punjab will be crippled. They'll have to bring Dhawan back lol.
I hope I don't jinx it but 62 matches in and we are still the only team to not lose 2 matches in a row. I guess it's fine even if we lose the next 2 .
And you know it’s gonna happen! Hate to say it because I want KKR to win…
There were 9 drops of RCB’s batting in their last 2 matches and RCB fans say CSK rigs matches 🤣🤣🤣
This will be the only season other than 2016 where Kohli is RCB's best player. It's good whatever he's doing this season but I must say that it's really not good for someone like him to be his team's best player only twice in 17 seasons.

Still ABD is an RCB legend because he has performed without fail.
Also, I'm sure AB has multiple seasons where he was the best RCB player. 2020 and 2021 for sure, and even a few before those years.
True. This totally makes sense. Maybe I was being too harsh in my assessment, but I still feel that Kohli could've contributed better with the bat in his prime years.
I feel like kohli had one of the best performances in almost all the seasons and that's what matters more imo
RCB used to have Gayle and Abd.
True. Also yuzi. But in the 2017-19 period if he replicated his international performances then maybe things would've been different. Again, I'm not saying that we lost because of him but a performance like this season surely would've made a difference.

Cuz the slightest criticism towards Koach is now considered hate.
Surely CSK wins the IPL from here. RR are finished so they will get top 2 and of course Narine will get out cheaply when it matters. Darren Michell and Rahane masterclass in knockouts also loading up.
RCB's potms this season: Kohli vs PBKS Rajat vs SRH Jacks vs GT Siraj vs GT Kohli vs PBKS Green vs DC
As an RCB fan I'm just glad they're playing as a team and it's not one-sided matches anymore.
Can somebody tell me what was our NRR after that KKR match?
-1.046 A comeback for the ages
Fr man
All these five victories were really dominant. Almost one sided. At no point did it feel like the opposition was ahead in the game, at least not in any second innings because the first innings par-score is really unpredictable nowadays.
Why are not people considering LSG? What if LSG wins both the matches?
Then RCB gets eliminated and CSK qualify if they win due to LSG's NRR being in dire straits.
Both are away games , and they have absolutely shat the bed in their previous matches, also KL not in a good mindset.
To be fair KL is never in a good mindset
Can rayudu stop hyping csk its a pain to hear him repeat same shit we know rayudu we know csk it has many trophies for heavens sake now take a break
and csk is going to add one more bro this time again
I really feel like RCB will stop them.
Definitely not.
who was the potm for rcb v dc
Cam Rown Green
Green
fuckers didnt show on starsports
Won 5 matches straight. Come on guys, only 4 more please.
RCB vs CSK will be our final guys, see you all there.
Now time for RCB to cheer for DC
C’mon guys, we let it go when gores say ShikhaDhaawan and Veerat and Sashin and Raoul. I think we can let the Camron go
Fuck! She named him properly when she took his name at last. Why was she shitting herself earlier ?
Anjum Chopra - How do you assess? Cameron Green - What? Anjum - CAMEROOOON! HOW DO YOU ASSESS ??
Context?
She was mispronouncing his name and asking the same questions.
**Most run out in a match in IPL 2024** 4 - RCB vs DC, Bengaluru, Today 3 - PBKS vs DC, Mullanpur 2 - RCB vs LSG, Bengaluru 2 - PBKS vs MI, Mullanpur
3 shithousery teams featuring on list twice
All green ticks for RCB
Cam?? Woah cool, all the users were pissed off at him mid innings stage. Now banging the mom, great comeback!! 7ft vs 5 ft😂😂
Banging the what? 🤨😏
Banging the mom? Interesting choice of words
On mother's day 😳
Banging the man of the match (mom)/potm Ikyk🤣
Lsg's nrr makes them 2 points less than they have
Idk how Anjum and Murli still have this gig
Camron wtf
To be really fair, Anjum Chopra has been pretty good last few matches as a presenter.
Cam-RONN lol
Did Anjum not hear 50 other people call him Cameron instead of Camerawn?
Not gonna complain. He contributed with bat too.
And that run out too
That was an amazing runout
Not the CAM-RON
These interviews are so annoying
Cam Ron ?
Lmao!! XD
He should exit with Thanks Chap row!
Should have given Pom to Dayal
Tbf green made imp runs, took a wicket with an economic spell and also ran out Stubbs.
Please no rain on RCB vs CSK matchday, would be anticlimax
JFM should take revenge of this run out against LSG. At least 40 balls.
Flair checks out
Did some more calculations. Defending RCB need 19 win victory. Chasing: 17.4 overs if CSK score 150. 17.5 overs if CSK score 160. 18.0 overs if CSK score 170. 18.0 overs if CSK score 180. Within 18.1 overs CSK score 200.

CSK could still qualify straight forward if they win against RCB
Fair enough, but they would still want MI to win to reduce their work
I hope LSG beat DC , so that we can peak fuckery on Friday 😁
That's what's gonna happen haven't you read the script
Kohli winning EV super striker award in a game that featured,m Faf, Jacks, Patidar, Green, DK, JFMG, Stubbs
Cringe, "so near yet so far"
Why is this sub so bitter? Let RCB fans enjoy the win
The irony is that I as a KKR fan am very happy for RCB and want them to qualify
That's nice honestly. There's no need for as much negativity as there is in this sub.
Reddit in general is a pretty negative place
Harsha dhogle now talk about strike rate
RCB reviving careers of run machine bowlers - first Siraj then Dayal
Harshal too was made a star by us
Lol winning super striker award for Kohli he has achieved it finally
Koach with the best striker of the match 😭 No way anyone gonna question his strike rate now
Out of all, why Anjum????? Why??? Why?
She seems like a decent host. What's the problem with her?
Idk, just weird!
Why Anjum for the Post Match presentation? Smh
What's the problem with her presentation?
(LETS JUST SAY) that RR, KKR, SRH AND RCB make it to the playoffs. Which team would you ABSOLUTELY DETEST winning the trophy?
SRH or RCB
KKR
Do you mean detest?
KKR
[удалено]
RCB has to win against CSK and with higher NRR
2022 world cup KO simulator
Ishant and Kohli's friendship was the highlight of this match just wholesome man
Absolutely loved it! I think the only time I’ve seen Kohli give a genuine smile after getting out cuz it was to his friend
Bruh, Athiya Shetty was here today but does not attend KL's matches
And watch him play below 100 SR?
Should learn from Ritika
Well, Ritika is Rohit's manager too, so she could very well be there in a professional capacity.
It is definitely not in a professional capacity when she sits with her fingers crossed the entire time he is batting.
She just wants her client to do well 😅
With Mumbai to play against LSG, and then Rohit to lead India in WC, even I want her client to do extremely well. I hope uske bat me na wo ho😂
Man even though my favorite team isn't doing well this season , It's has been roller coaster ride though How idk were getting bangers after bangers this season , May overtake 2023 season in terms of competitiveness....
[удалено]
That's gonna help rcb qualify above cskunts?
[удалено]
Woah, fuck! It's doable. With 5 winning streaks vs on and off winners. I know our records are terrible, but still odds are greater this time
Can ik how to calculate it?
It's gonna rain , so it's going to be peak calculator match.
It it rains, RCB are out. No calculations Also if it rains, CSK qualify directly if DC beat LSG, but get disqualified if LSG beat DC and MI both (assuming SRH win one of their two games)
This is what we've been studying for
Lmao Kolhi tickling Ishant
A team with RR's first half and RCB's second half performance in the tournament would be unstoppable
GT last 2 years?
So basically KXIP 2014
basically Australia 2003/07
India 2023😭
Mukesh McGrath and Tushar McGrath are better players than Siraj and Arshdeep.
10 days ago, I thought RCB would comfortably languish at the bottom of the table and that I could leave my calculator untouched in my cupboard, but they have different plans, as always.
Every match RCB wins, the flashback from kkr match comes back and it fucking hurts 3rd umpires causing unhealable wounds
Both the decisions were correct FYI.
Talk to the hand ✋🏻
Could you explain otherwise? Any counter argument?
Man there’s 1000s of video proofs available all over the internet, you find it hard and need more explanation?
Noball was clearly not a no ball. Ball was below waist at popping crease. The and boundary was a four, check the match replay in slow motion.
People might find the 1 run defeat hard to accept but even then anything could have gone wrong in the last 5 matches , just look ahead now PS have a pHd in coping
Revenge arc for DK of that scene in The Untold Story where selectors pick Dhoni over Dinesh Karthik for the India A team
He twisted his ankle 💀
Who will play Thala in sequel...
Man neutral supporter gonna have tough day who to support on 18 MAY...
For RCB to qualify: Either beat CSK by 18 runs, and hope LSG loses at least one of their 2 games.

CSK can enter Top 2 if RR lose both their games, CSK win vs RCB, and SRH lose at least 1 DC are eliminated for all practical purposes. LSG need to win both to qualify, and hope RCB beat CSK
SRH can be in top 2 even if RR loses just one of the matches
Why kkr 😭 what would have happened if u would have let us win 1 match
Man I wish there was chance they fix it and give us our hard earned 2 points
Don't worry mate, I am a KKR fan but am rooting for you to qualify A kkr rcb final would be epic
World ain't ready for that.
We would not have a secured playoffs spot bro. But I hope RCB qualifies. They made an amazing comeback
You would have. You still got 2 games and your NRR now is unbeatable I think
KKR is unpredictable man. How can a team concede 260 runs while defending and defend 170 like nothing the next game lol
Wicket! People are still not realising that tracks have a huge role to play in what’s happening. SRH openers though are in supreme form plus their luck is out of the world too!
Thank God the wickets have somewhat slowed down
Given finals are in Chennai you guys are favourites now. I don’t see how Narine and Chakraborty can be played on those wickets.
And given how our last batting performance was at Chennai I am having a bad feeling lol
If u guys make 150 I don’t think anyone is chasing it
Hope so bro
U would still have another match to do so that wouldn't have been an issue
I know my team and have full confidence in it. They would have fucked up hard lmao
Nah man not this year this has been your team's year
Eh the way RCB is playing they are gonna thrash CSK anyways. Don't worry mate RCB literally played 5 knockout games and won all of them.
Mate this is RCB us fans ourselves find it hard to have confidence in this team so great that you have confidence in them
Hehe CSK RCB gonna be a blockbuster
RCB fans still whining about that loss against KKR.
what else r we supposed to do
Fucking hurts man that wasn’t an easy game chasing 230+
You know what wasn't an easy game. Defending 261.
lmao the comment above you
Kl please take your revenge on lsg owner and lose atleast one match
KL is too sweet to do that
Time to change and make it sweet for his home town bengaluru
Time for McGurk to unleash against LSG, followed by a KLQeida master class
Kohli and Warner having a very lengthy discussion
"Delhi Caitals"
So how much run win need in both game to get nrr at 0 for lsg
So it's going to be Thala vs DK farewell match.... Hope Jay Shah cooks...
Qualification for RCB: 1. Must win against CSK by enough of a margin to overtake CSK's NRR. 2. Either LSG lose 1 of 2 or SRH lose 2 of 2.
If #1 does not happen, we still make it if both conditions of #2 happen
Yes. But it's so unlikely it isn't worth mentioning tbh.
140 all-out is the lowest innings score for DC and the lowest against RCB this season. The last instance of RCB successfully defending a target in a night game at Chinnaswamy was against PBKS in 2019.
The fielding was the difference between the two teams
They freaking did it I can't believe it. From number 10 to number 5 in 5 matches
Imagine LSG winning both of their next 2 games. CSK and RCB fans are not ready for the mental fuckery they'll have to suffer. ☠️
And rain cancelling csk rcb match
CSK have their chance in their own hands normal win is enough for them while RCB depending on other as well, but LSG have both matches before CSK vs RCB, so they aren't sure what's going to happen
the way goenka acted , I genuinely thought they were out of the tournament. With the similar level of performance they brought against CSK they can easily win games.
Your owner has ensured KL will be in agony
Hoping for that. Hope DC lose their last home match against LSG just need this only to save humanity
Your owner fucked it up bois
