Rajasthan Royals take a jibe at RCB with CSK fan's post

The Rajasthan Royals X (formerly Twitter) admin did not hold back after the 2008 champions defeated RCB in the Eliminator match last night. 

Bengaluru were coming at the back of 7 wins on the trot in the IPL 2024 league stages which was the main reason why they qualified for the play-offs. However, Faf du Plessis' side once again choked at the wrong time as the slightly out-of-form Rajasthan Royals team came out on top by 4 wickets at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. 

Rajasthan Royals will now be taking on the Sunrisers Hyderabad tomorrow at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai for the 2nd qualifier match. If Rajasthan wins, then it will be their 2nd appearance in an IPL final across the last 3 seasons. Back in 2022, they had reached their first finale since the 2008 season and it remains to be seen if they can reach another one this season. 

How did Rajasthan Royals troll RCB using CSK fan's post?

The Rajasthan Royals chose a very unique way to take a jibe at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru following the latter team's loss in the Eliminator match. They took reference to the tweet made by a CSK fan who was present at the Narendra Modi stadium last night.

Thank you to each and every fan in Pink (and all other colours) for their support last night. 💗 pic.twitter.com/NMEvfAl0sJ

To give some context, fans of CSK were extremely sad and disappointed after RCB denied them the opportunity to enter the IPL 2024 final. What was more questionable to them was the wild celebrations of Virat Kohli and other Bengaluru players who acted as if they won the Indian Premier League title. 

Therefore, the CSK fans backed the Rajasthan Royals to stop RCB from reaching the finale and take revenge on their behalf by defeating Bengaluru. Amid the match, a fan tweeted, "Yellow army always with you" with a picture of 3 Chennai fans wearing the yellow jersey.

In that very context, the Rajasthan Royals posted a picture of their fans wearing the Pink jersey, and between them was a CSK fan holding the RR flag. In the caption, the Royals expressed their gratitude towards their fan for turning up in Pink and also in other colors to make sure Rajasthan is going through. 

"Thank you to each and every fan in Pink (and all other colors) for their support last night."

How did the fans react? 

Fans below the Rajasthan Royals' post on X have come up with hilarious reactions with most of them also trolling the Bengaluru-based franchise. There were a couple of CSK fans who had similar thoughts, claiming that they wanted to see RR beat RCB in the Eliminator and also beat KKR in the finals. Another fan thanked Rajasthan Royals for saving humanity by beating RCB. 

Rajasthan to meet Hyderabad tomorrow

Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals will be facing the Sunrisers Hyderabad tomorrow at the MA Chidambaram stadium, Chennai for the 2nd qualifier match. The winner of the match will be going through to the finals and face Shreyas Iyer's Kolkata Knight Riders at the same venue.
