CSK pacer Tushar Deshpande mocked RCB on social media after their Eliminator loss, sharing a meme that poked fun at their IPL trophy drought.
The longstanding rivalry between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) reached a fever pitch on social media following RCB’s eliminator defeat to the Rajasthan Royals (RR).
The rivalry began after RCB thrashed CSK in a virtual eliminator on May 18th, sparking celebrations among RCB fans and disappointment for the defending champions. This tension spilled over onto social media, with memes and online taunts flying between the two fanbases.
Adding to the frenzy, CSK pacer Tushar Deshpande shared a meme on his Instagram story mocking RCB’s history of failing to win the IPL trophy. The meme playfully poked fun at the name of Bangalore’s Cantonment Railway Station. Here is the deleted story:
Speaking of the match, RCB’s journey to the playoffs was a story of resilience. They defeated CSK in a dramatic match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on May 18th, igniting celebration among their fans. However, their dream run came to an end in the eliminator against RR.
RR, who elected to field first, restricted RCB to a total of 172/8. They then chased down the target with some late-inning drama to secure a spot in Qualifier 2 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on May 24th at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
