Ambati Rayudu Criticizes RCB for Not Winning IPL Trophy Through Celebration, Aggression, Beating CSK

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s dream run in the IPL 2024 came to a disappointing end as they were defeated by the Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator match. Sanju Samson’s team outplayed RCB, ending their hopes of lifting the IPL trophy for the first time in 17 seasons.

Former CSK player Ambati Rayudu didn’t hold back in his criticism of RCB, stating that the IPL trophy is not won by celebrations and aggression, but by performing well in the playoffs. His comments were made during the Star Sports broadcast of the match, where he emphasized the importance of consistent performance in the crucial stages of the tournament.

Despite the loss, RCB captain Faf du Plessis expressed pride in his team’s efforts to qualify for the playoffs. He acknowledged that they fell short with the bat and credited the opposition for their strong performance. Du Plessis highlighted the team’s resilience in bouncing back from a poor start to the season and commended their fighting spirit.

With this defeat, RCB also set an unwanted record of having the most losses in the IPL playoffs. The team will now have to regroup and reflect on their performance as they look ahead to the next season. Despite the disappointment, RCB can take pride in their achievements and use this experience to come back stronger in the future.
