'We don't cheat like CSK and get banned': Little RCB fan roasts MS Dhoni's IPL team

PUBLISHED: LAST UPDATE:

Little RCB fan slams CSK: 'We don't cheat like them.' Viral comment references CSK's 2013 ban amid team's poor IPL 2025 performance & controversial LSG match.

Current CSK skipper MS Dhoni

In a season where the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have faced mounting criticism and a string of disappointing performances this IPL 2025, a young Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fan has captured the internet's attention with his candid remarks.

Declaring himself the sole RCB supporter in a family of CSK enthusiasts, the boy boldly stated, "I support RCB because we don't cheat like CSK and get banned." This statement, referencing CSK's past controversies, has reignited discussions about the franchise's history and current form.

A Young Fan's Bold Accusation

The boy's comment alludes to the infamous 2013 IPL spot-fixing and betting scandal, where CSK's team principal, Gurunath Meiyappan, was found guilty of illegal betting activities. This led to a two-year suspension for CSK from the IPL, a decision that significantly impacted the team's reputation.

CSK's Tumultuous 2025 Season

Further, the 2025 IPL season has been challenging for CSK. The team became the first to be eliminated from playoff contention, managing only two wins in their first eleven matches. Leadership changes, with MS Dhoni stepping in as captain mid-season after Ruturaj Gaikwad's injury, failed to reverse the team's fortunes.

Despite hopes that Dhoni's return would rejuvenate CSK, the team's struggles persisted, leading to widespread criticism from fans and pundits alike.

Controversial Victory Against LSG

CSK's recent five-wicket victory over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) was marred by controversy. Fans questioned LSG captain Rishabh Pant's decision to assign the penultimate over to Shardul Thakur, who conceded 19 runs, and the omission of Ravi Bishnoi from the death overs, despite his economical bowling earlier in the match.

Bishnoi's post-match remark that he "didn't really talk to Pant" added fuel to the fire, leading to speculation about the integrity of the game's outcome.

The young RCB fan's pointed remark serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity in sports. While CSK has a storied history and a passionate fan base, the franchise's past controversies continue to influence public perception.
