It was not a day to remember for Royal Challengers Bangalore, as they lost a crucial match against Rajasthan Royals where a win would have taken them into the playoffs. The Twitterati did not spare RCB as they failed to chase down a modest target of 165 and choked their way out of the IPL.
Brief Score: Rajasthan Royals 164/5 (Rahul Tripathi 80*, Ajinkya Rahane 33; Umesh Yadav 3-25, Mohammed Siraj 1-33) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore 134/10 (AB de Villiers 53, Parthiv Patel 33; Shreyas Gopal 4-16, Ben Laughlin 2-15) by 30 runsNot everyone can be a Narine!

Perfect summary of Rahul Tripathi's innings today!
Rahul Tripathi's bat, upon contact with the ball today, is making a sound that'll scare the best of bowlers. Brilliant onslaught!

When people said RR will miss Buttler...
Rahul Tripathi's 80* ensured did not miss Buttler at the top of the innings!

RR fans go to town on their team's management!
In their last game of the season (most probably the last), Rahul Tripathi has shown the RR management how they wasted him by batting him down the border. A decent knock of 80* today on a slow pitch scoring almost half of his side's runs.

This is a top knock from Rahul Tripathi, on this pitch. I'm still clueless about how the team management has played with his position.

When people ask for name suggestions, you know what to do!
I think there is a magic in the name RAHUL

Rahane has been a huge disappointment today!
See that's what Rahul Tripathi can do.
— PK (@impkoppula)
RR made a huge blunder playing Rahane instead atop. Worse? They also named him captain. Today he batted for 6 overs for a run a ball.
Rahane plays so great in Test matches. He need not prove anything. Just go Pujara route.
I hope the BCCI selectors are watching this!
Umesh Yadav took consecutive wickets

AB DE VILLIERS 🔥🔥 🙏😍
And then Shreyas Gopal happened!
Shreyas Gopal: 4-0-16-4.

A potentially match-winning spell from the leg-spinner.
❌Parthiv Patel
❌Mandeep Singh
❌Moeen Ali
❌AB de Villiers
Bargain of the season!
Just a reminder: Shreyas Gopal was picked up for his base price of 20 lakhs. couldn't have cared less at the auction when any of the local boys came up.

RCB choking yet again in a crucial match!
75/1 at one stage, 108/8 now..

RCB will always find a way!
RR : We Dont have Stokes
— Farheen 👑🔥 (@FrDeadpool)
RCB: No Problem !!
RR: We don't even have Buttler too.
RCB: Dont worry mate, we will find a way to lose.
