CSK Player Adds Insult to Injury for RCB with Instagram Story, Deletes Post Amid Criticism

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s dream run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 came to a screeching halt as they suffered a defeat against Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator clash. Despite posting a competitive total of 172/8, RCB couldn’t contain the Rajasthan batters, who chased down the target with just four balls to spare.

The match saw some drama off the field as well, with Chennai Super Kings’ Tushar Deshpande taking a dig at RCB on Instagram. Deshpande shared a story that read “CSK fans are built different” along with a picture of ‘Bengaluru Cant’ railway station. However, he later deleted the post after facing backlash from fans.

On the cricketing front, Rajasthan Royals’ Rovman Powell played a crucial role in guiding his team to victory with an unbeaten 16-run knock. Riyan Parag also contributed with a gritty 36 off 26 balls, helping Rajasthan secure their first win after four losses and an abandoned game.

With this win, Rajasthan Royals set up a clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL final. The returning Shimron Hetmyer played a vital role in the victory, scoring 26 off 14 balls.

Despite a late fightback from RCB’s Mohammed Siraj, Rajasthan held their nerve to emerge victorious. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s aggressive start at the top set the tone for Rajasthan’s chase, while Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Sanju Samson also made valuable contributions.

Overall, it was a thrilling encounter that showcased the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket. With Rajasthan Royals now eyeing the IPL title, the stage is set for an exciting final showdown.
