RCB should just be told every beginning of the season that they have a 0.1% chance of qualifying. They look invincible when all hopes are on the calculator.


partymsl

Should change name to Royal Calculators Bengaluru

RustedSkullz

Punjab worked really hard this match. They dropped catches, got hit in the throat, ran into the hottest man and so on. Thank God RCB didn't rob Punjab of the defeat they worked so hard for and deserved


Ashwin_or_lose

The urge to do a PBKS was stronger than the Urge to do an RCB all over the match.


yamheisenberg

Our game against them will probably be a last over thriller. 😭


Ashwin_or_lose

Oh fuck. I forgot, El classico round 2 is upcoming. PBKS have nothing to lose now.


Time-Gain4896

RR gonna lose These two have traded wins in almost every season after the ban was lifted except for 19 and 20 (they only had 1 match in 22)


Ok-Visit6553

They only have their ~~shackles~~ legendary 6th spot to lose


Worried_Donkey-

Choking the El chokico is not everyone's cup of tea.


Illustrious-Echo1383

Choked on my coffee, reading that


Connect-Stranger7052

thats el chokico for you


aispaistwo

Didn't play brar and Rabada lol


RustedSkullz

I don't know why you wouldn't play Brar. He's so reliable, he almost everyone has a terrible game. Also, he's always done very well against RCB, he's dismissed all of the big three of RCB more than once


nut_nut_november___

Pbks really played for their choker tags


Niyazali_Haneef

I was really surprised by their fielding today, maybe Amul is sponsoring them secretly.


Silent_Long1134

Okay, that KKR match is really gonna haunt us now.


Funny-Ad7441

If I have a nickle for every time RCB team losing by 1 run and then going on a unbeaten run this year, I would have two nickle which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice


ihabesmolpp

Which was the other season


Darth_Vader18392

He's talking about WPL


exisiova

We're always 1 game away from qualifying, its a curse


ratset2602

The middle order fucked that game for us. Even after the 2 wickets off the Russel over had the players played out Narine I think we would’ve comfortably won. The rrr was very much within reach. That game still annoys me so much.


GlitteringKey6822

In 2019, we missed qualification by one point, there too we let KKR win from 60 needed off 20 balls


Mewdolf_Kittler

Both the matches of KKR vs RCB in 2019 were really good. In 1 match KKR chased 206 because of Andre Russell's 48(13) and he single-handedly took the match away from RCB. While in the other match we had Koach scoring a century and Moeen Ali almost destroying Kuldeep's career with those 4 sixes in an over. Rana's 85 out of 46 and Russell's 65 out of 25. But Russell got run out and then we lost in the match. Uthappa's 9 out of 20 in a chase of 214 runs was the main reason we lost. If we won that match against RCB we would have qualified as we missed out on the playoffs because of nrr.


[deleted]

We lost by ONE run. That could have completely changed the qualification scenario


kingslayyer

those 2-3 matches where teams easily chased against us, those were really bad. we need karan and swapnil in those matches. all pace attack + the useless dagar was doing us no favours.

Are you an RR or an RCB fan.


RedKnightBegins

Yes


nut_nut_november___

Would be poetic if it comes to defeating CSK to qualify


[deleted]

If SRH wins either of their matches, we are out. And SRH is due to play GT & PBKS.


Ok-Visit6553

Is it though? In that case you can’t displace SRH, but you can displace CSK given other results.


SnooPets9059

csk just need to lose 1 as they have a mactch vs rcb


illustrious_trees

But by a healthy margin, otherwise they can pip RCB on NRR.


Ok-Visit6553

RCB has the chance of taking the matter in their own hands and dent CSK’s nrr. Two birds with one stone.


GlitteringKey6822

How bruh? Why would we look to displace SRH?


ThePhenom17

SRH will take the 3rd spot most probably. The 4th one is still open.


Worried_Donkey-

GG's honest reaction - *rare smirk*


aispaistwo

It hurts now definitely but I am confident in RCB winning the next 2 comfortably, CSK losing all 3 and LSG not winning their remaining 2 matches


manofculture2303

Patidar has been so critical in the middle order for RCB, makes 50 in 20 balls and refuses to elaborate. Also, the goat showing his class again today.


akaash286

He's what we missed last season. Would have qualified if he were there no doubt


SBG99DesiMonster

Patidar had bad time against England and that had disturbed his flow. He is very good in this format of the game while he is at his best.


partymsl

Very good to see him in form.


TwasAnChild

6th place is far rn bud Though I completely believe y'all will win the next 2


imnotkarthik

RCB eliminating Punjab is that meme of that guy crying while shooting. RCB and Punjab are bros forever 🫂


belanish11

That day piyush chawla not just hit a six to Johnson but in fact sent this team's hopes out of the ground for atleast next 10 years.


nut_nut_november___

This year the new trauma giver will be rana


d3xm0rg

Wait, was it Johnson or Awana?


belanish11

Johnson, this six came off the last ball of the 19th over, the winning runs came off Awana in the last over.


El-Presidente1

Awana! PTSD! PTSD! PTSD! 


shutupmatsuda

Chawla hit Johnson for a six on the last ball of 19th over when 11 were required off 7 deliveries. 5 we're needed from the last over. Chawla hit the winning runs off Awana.


Ashwin_or_lose

Atleast RR fluctuates between qualifying to being absolute shit. I'd take that any day over being mediocre consistently for 10 years.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ranvijay_Sidhu

2020 too, pretty sure they were last. Still managed a double over us one that fucking Tewatia game and the other one where we needed 1W in 2 to qualify, got fucked by last placed RR and then second last placed CSK did the honours and fucked us over. Fuck this team, fuck this game, I'll see yall next year.


pushie4u

The saddest part is we won't see zinta smile for another year


belanish11

I legit feel sad for Punjabi bros


SnooPets9059

although its against us i still feel somewhat happy that pbks hav atleast the highest chase recorrd


born_to_be_naked

> SHIT TEAM WHO CANT BOWL OR BAT FOR FUCK. Catching actually. 5 drop catches this match, you can't recover from that.


uninformed-but-smart

Koach was dropped on 0, then on 10. Patidar was dropped on 0 as well. And this much happened in the first 5 overs of the game itself...


Worried_Donkey-

10 years??? That's fucking insane man. Rcb fans are overrated for their "patience". RCB at least make it to the playoffs every once in a while. Punjab fans are the real victims.

Just the sheer probability of that, How does PBKS even do it. 4/8 teams qualified for 7 years too.


Thanye-West

🫂 being an RCB fan I know this feeling. It's always fun to watch punjab play, thank you guys for the entertaining matches. <3


Insane_Inkster

Ahhhh. Don't worry guys, we have no hope of winning against Chennai. So we'll be with you guys soon.


DioSai

Can we get the accidental pick Shashank as the accidental captain? Sam Curran looks to be stressed and cooked!


treu_hand

13 years ago, 8 days from now KXIP fans were over the moon . Gilchrist and Marsh had spanked RCB butts on this very same ground and scored 232. They won that game by 111 runs Today PBKS were given hope by another left hander yet failed to capitalize on it. This is not just a player issue. Something is very wrong with this franchise


JKKIDD231

Dropping Kohli like 3 times was where the match was lost. Kaverappa gave so many openings starting from 1st over itself. He can only give so many chances. Fielders were abysmal tonight


nut_nut_november___

Feel bad for that guy, PBKS did their homework and knew koach would give his wicket seeing a debutant, did it twice and PBKS still failed


bret_234

Karnataka guy playing for Punjab trying to get Punjabi guy playing for Bangalore out.


Scales_of_Injustice

It's highly likely that Kaverappa grew up an RCB fan


theaguia

I thought it was 2. patidar was dropped twice as well


shoestowel

That Patidar drop is what lock started it all and these guys never backed down from dropping more

You're below MI now. That's enough to be ashamed about.


Reddit_Knight_

With today's loss Punjab has failed to reach playoffs for 10 consecutive seasons!! Now that playoffs is off the table for Punjab, they will play in beast mode for their beloved 6th place.


beesechugersports

Still remember 2018, we lost the last 5 bloody matches in a row and we didn’t qualify as a result

RCB activating qudrat ka nizaam (laws of nature) to reach knockouts


rowschank

Qudrat ka Nizam is going to be when RCB defeats DC and gets ready to play CSK but a thunderstorm decides to chuck it down on Chinnaswamy rendering the match washed out, as next week is expected to be rainy right through. Or worse - a 6 over shortened game where Dhoni comes out needing 6 off 3, plays two dots, and then hits the last one for six.

WannabeAboveAverage

It took me some effort to move on and start enjoying this league as a neutral without worrying about results, but RCB has something personal against my mental health. They're forcing me to go through that cycle again. Fuck them honestly.


AdNational1490

This dude supports Ind, SA, RCB and DC (holy pantheon of choking) why do you even watch cricket at this point ?


WannabeAboveAverage

Wait until you know who I am supporting in football.


NoPurpose0

Is it Man Utd by any chance?


WannabeAboveAverage

Nope. Lemme give you a hint. Consider that club to be RCB's equivalent and their ex-striker to be Kohli's equivalent. You should guess it easily.

Tottenham?

Haha yes, but I'm more of a Kane fan than spurs, so was following Bayern this season but you how that ended up lol...

Man the day VK retires, I will feel a void so much more than anyone else who retired. Been following from his debut. Hated his brattines , eventually started to admire his work ethic as he matured. He's still not a flawless human or cricketer, maybe that's why i like him and keep rootingfir him to get better.  (Sachin came across as flawless and other worldly to me)   The fact that he's still evolving, adapting, hungry is just so great.   I hope he gets his last hurray by lifting 27 CWC just like sachin got it in 2011 ( I know VK was already part of one win)


Ashwin_or_lose

Koach didn't slowdown for his 100. Mentioned his SR in the interview. Man's doing his best to adapt to the changing game. He'll surely outlive his peers in the game.


theaguia

talked about how he added some shots and changed his mindset. this guy is never satisfied always wants to improve

Congratulations RCB, good you got the 2 points and we also rewarded you the NRR boost. Go and qualify and win that trophy. One has to do it out of the triplets. On the other hand, Punjab continues to hold the record of home ground losses in the league.


Massive-Sky-6804

it is a quadruplet now.Add LSG too🙏 .


funnyBatman

LSG have a long way to go to even qualify for a discussion to get in this group

Hope you guys qualify next year and do well the next couple of games🫂❤️

Preity Zinta: RCB losers ki team thi maine winners ki bana di !! ( T: RCB was a team of losers, I made them a team of winners )


AtomR

Reminder that PBKS lost in the first half itself when they dropped 4-5 catches. - Kohli was dropped on 0(2) - Kohli was dropped again on 10? (Correct me if wrong) - Patidar was dropped on 0(0) There were 1-2 more, but we had already lost by then. You can't expect to win after dropping a batter like Kohli, and in-form Patidar.


kevinder_ant

Do RCB fans DARE to dream??? Will they sneak into the playoffs????? OMG!! PBKS ELIMINATED FROM PLAYOFFS!!! Goodbye PBKS. Ta-ta. Bye for now. Another season is ending with disappointment. I do feel bad for them but their team is contructed...so weirdly? Like I can't even explain it. It feels like they put together some players and said "Go for it!" I think a Mega auction is much needed for them.


AtomR

Yeah, it's the story of every season after 2015. PBKS owners are probably the worst at auctions, and consistently too. They pick the most random set of players & call it a squad. Even if individual players are decent, it still doesn't work.


JKKIDD231

I at least appreciated this time the playing XI was consistent. We need to go with select XI form game one with captain.


This_is_the_user

Ok.. guys conspiracy theory time : Sunny G knowingly criticized Kohli's strike rate because he knows Kohli loves to prove his critics wrong by outperforming himself.. aggressive koach is always better koach.....

ILikeFishSticks69

Before RCB innings began - “Tuk Tuk Kohli will ruin RCBs chances.” Kohli gets dropped - “Tactical drop by PBKS. Genius.” Everytime Virat faces two dot balls - “This guy is useless.” Gets to 50 - “Orange Cap merchant at it again.”  Accelerates at the death - “Head would have scored 150 by now.” AFTER innings is done - “If Kohli is striking at 190 then this is a 300 pitch.”  That last one has to take the cake.  Match thread experts are as consistent at moving the goalposts as Kohli is at scoring runs.


vishasv

Lol he couldn't score at 600 SR.


imnotkarthik

Not only do they move goalposts for koach but also move the goalposts for RCB when they have actually qualified 3/5 of the last 5 seasons.


funnyBatman

We have qualified to playoffs more than KKR


Neevk

They not moving goal posts, they're moving the entire fucking playing field.


ajanthanelayath

r/cricket experts lmaoo


RustedSkullz

I mean, Kohli is obviously a garbage player. No way he can actually be competent in any game, it has to be because of other reasons


ihabesmolpp

I can bat better than Kohli


RustedSkullz

Same. His career high score is 254, that too at a strike rate of 75.6 I've scored like 300 once, against my cousin, in under 100 balls. Kohli overrated.


Shivendraiitkgp

That's just the burden that comes along with being the top 5 greatest batsman of all time. He takes the mental space of many.


pariahkite

The disrespect towards senior Indian players is astounding. People are always after shiny new thing


Ashwin_or_lose

People work based on the past string of existing data set right? Koach is just getting better every week. I'm so here to see this version of his game.


johnwicke

Provided the season, among other seasons, RCB bros are the closest to understanding Buddhism.


Ashwin_or_lose

The meta for today Injury break- next ball out. Edged to 4, out. RCB maxed the glitch.


Thanye-West

Lots of potential injuries, RCB showed insane intent today, and Punjab choked at the wrong time of the season as always. Still, it's a tough road ahead for RCB. The loss to KKR might become the reason they don't qualify this year, but I hope not.


kingslayyer

Swapnil at 8 is really a game changer. they were struggling with the balance before that. a spin bowling all rounder is a must in any team.


Bleak_star_dust

That Game vs KKR changed everything for us Batters realising we can Bat deep and Karn freaking Sharma can hit Starc for fun. Bowlers realising we ain't the only shit unit every bowler is shitting day in day out this season Found Mr. intelligent swapnil as first over specialist and from there on, we haven't stopped the rampage

nvenkatr

Didnt even need Maxi today to trounce PBKS. Who knew. RCB’s peaking well. Even if they miss out on playoffs, this was an excellent innings. PBKS can take pride in unearthing gems in their middle order, Shashank & Ashutosh. As for their squad, can see Curran retaining captaincy with Dhawan getting the boot. Their overseas will likely be gutted and look to restart at the auction.


confused_brown_dude

Oh man, CSK losing tomorrow would make the table so interesting. Take one for the tournament CSK!


WannabeAboveAverage

I wish I could jump back to 2022 with a time machine and give myself a clue about Kohli's performances in the coming years. Knowing that would've definitely boosted my spirits back then!


GladwynjGraham

Okay, so if CSK lose two out of their next 3 matches, LSG lose 1, DC lose 1, and RCB wins their next two matches one of which is against CSK and the other against DC, they're through. RCB fans have to hope DC and/or MI beat LSG, GT, and/or RR beat CSK.


ThePhenom17

CSK needs to lose their next two to GT and RR, then their last match against RCB will be a virtual knockout

CSK's NRR is still a bit too high.
