The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), who had reached the playoffs after beating Chennai Super Kings (CSK), faced a humiliating defeat to end their IPL 2024 journey on Wednesday. Their back-to-back six victories ended on a tragic note during the Qualifier 1 round against Rajasthan Royals.
RCB’s loss has left all the fans who are their constant support in a state of dilemma. Not only fans, but many others who supported RCB are heartbroken after the knockout. Actress Anushka Sharma, who is Virat Kohli’s biggest cheerleader and has been his constant support, also looked upset.
In a video from the stadium that has surfaced online, Anushka can be seen standing in the corporate box where she looks visibly upset. As expected, the video went viral with users sending love to her.
“Rcb forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️His lady luck♥️🖇,” commented a fan. “Win or lose RCB we choose ❤️❤️😢😢,” commented another user.
Another fan wrote, “Everybody’ know why RCB lost so don’t worry both teams were played very well hard luck for RCB and Congratulations for the winner.”
Last week, Anushka Sharma could not hide her excitement after RCB defeat CSK and was visibly emotional, and was moved to tears as Kohli celebrated running around the field, jumping in joy. Anushka was then clenching her fists, almost in tears, as she celebrated from the stand. Virat also blew her a flying kiss.
The happiest persons right now after RCB’s defeat are CSK fans who felt humiliated due to RCB’s celebration after CSK’s defeat. MS Dhoni was seen walking away to the dressing room without handshake. This left CSK infuriated who were seen celebrating after RCB’s defeat.
Social media is also filled with videos of CSK fans bursting crackers and trolling RCB after the humiliating knockout.
