RCB IPL 2024 Winner: Now only 4 teams are left in the race to win the title of IPL 2024. The battle for the playoffs has started from today and Kolkata Knight Riders are facing off against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 1. Before the start of this match, former veteran batsman of Team India Sunil Gavaskar has made a big prediction and declared Royal Challengers Bangalore as the champion of this season. Gavaskar is a part of the English and Hindi commentary panel in the current season of IPL.

The Qualifier 1 match is being played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. During the conversation before the start of the match, the presenter of the show asked Gavaskar which team among KKR, SRH, RR and RCB does he think will be the winner this season? In response, he named RCB.

RCB has made it to the playoffs with 6 consecutive wins

It is noteworthy that the way the team led by Faf du Plessis has qualified for the playoffs, no one had expected it. In the first phase of the league stage of the tournament, RCB was able to win only one match and was at number 10 in the points table. But in the second phase, RCB made a strong comeback and surprised everyone by winning 6 consecutive matches and qualifying for the playoffs.

RCB has been a part of this league since the inaugural season of IPL, but has not been successful in winning the trophy even once. The Bengaluru team has definitely reached the finals thrice, but every time it has had to face defeat at the last stage. This time the team has a chance to win the trophy once again.

However, RCB will still have to win two more matches to make it to the finals. They will first have to beat Rajasthan Royals in the eliminator to be held on May 22. After this, on May 24, Qualifier 2 will have to face the team that lost in Qualifier 1 and only after winning it, the team will reach the finals.
