The six-match winning streak of Royal Challenges Bangalore came to an end in the Indian Premier League season 2024 Eliminator match against Rajasthan Royals on Wednesday. RCB posted a fighting total of 172 runs at the loss of eight wickets on the board and even managed to unnerve the batsman of the Rajasthan Royals to some extent, but the score was never enough for RCB to go through. As RCB missed one more chance to go all the way in the tournament, courtesy of their defeat against RR in the eliminator, Chennai Super Kings star Tushar Deshpande shared an Instagram story mocking the Bengaluru side. But later, I deleted it.
Taking to Instagram, the CSK pacer Deshpande shared a story that read, “CSK fans are built different,” with a picture of ‘Bengaluru Cant’ railway station. Understanding the backlash over such a post, Deshpande then deleted it.

As for the match, chasing 173, Rajasthan ended with 174/6 as Rovman Powell, unbeaten by 16, provided the finishing touches in a tense finish.
