Royal Challengers Bangalore team was definitely expected to win the trophy in the IPL 2024 T20 cricket series. Because the team, as usual, recorded 6 consecutive defeats in the first 7 matches and remained at the last position in the points table for a month. Bangalore, which was expected to be the first team to go home, has won 6 of its last 6 matches.

Especially in the last match, Bangalore defeated defending champion Chennai by 27 runs and entered the play-off round as the fourth team. On the other hand, Rajasthan, which has qualified for the eliminator, has not registered a single win in its last 5 matches. Therefore, the in-form Bangalore team was expected to defeat Rajasthan.

Virat Kohli slump: But Rajasthan played well in the Eliminator held in Ahmedabad on 22 May and defeated Bangalore by 4 wickets. Therefore, Rajasthan qualified to play Qualifier 2 tomorrow. But Bangalore failed to win the trophy for the 17th consecutive year since 2008.

Due to which Virat Kohli and RCB fans are very sad. Even if we do not win the trophy this time, Virat Kohli said that he will never forget winning 6 matches in a row and qualifying for the play-off round. What he talked about on the RCB website: “Our performance in the first half of the year was below average”

As players we did not live up to our expectations. After that we played freely for self-respect and the confidence came back. So to turn everything around and qualify for the play-offs is really special. I will always remember it. Because it was achieved by the character that came from the heart of each team player.

We are proud of it. In the end we played the way we wanted to play. The support from the fans is incredible. This season was perfect. Nothing different. We will always be grateful for that. We will always be grateful for their support not only in Bengaluru but all over the country where we have played. Thank you so much for your support and best wishes.”
