After losing to RR, RCB hopes of winning the IPL came to an end. Motivated by a meme that CSK pacer Tushar Deshpande published, CSK supporters ridiculed RCB on social media.

But not long after RR’s triumph, Chennai Super Kings fans severely harassed RCB and its best players on social media, reminding them of their antiques from the previous match.

Notably, RCB had made a place in the playoffs after beating Chennai Super Kings by 27 runs in their last match. The high-scoring encounter saw RCB post a mammoth total of 218 runs while restricting their opponents to a total of 191 thanks to a brilliant bowling effort by Glenn Maxwell, Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal.
