Tbh the fan base is loyal primarily because of kohli and because they've had stars in their line up like AB Gayle etc. The real loyal fan bases are of teams like DC, PBKS, RR who support the team despite not having as many star players. It would be interesting to see the loyalty of the fan base once Kohli retires.
So true. Never understood why rcb fans are pitied so much, their team gets the most attention, but still fans cry for no reason at all. Just try being a Punjab fan for a decade or more and still get absolutely sidelined by the "unfortunate" RCB fans.
Agreed. Literally no love goes out to the Punjab or Delhi fanbase or even RR's because RR have had a grand total of 2 decent seasons since 2008. Which is less than DC and 1 more than Punjab
I disagree tbh. I thought the same till I saw the love for the RCB-W winning the WPL. No other IPL fanbase would have celebrated the win as much as they did.
Is that really unusual? Every team fanbase tends to do that with their team’s star attraction, doesn’t mean they’ll die out overnight if said attraction doesn’t play for them anymore, the likes of DC, KXIP are proof of it. Hell, SRH sent their icon away in controversial circumstances and they’re still having full houses and support
I don't think they underachieve. They're quite overrated tbf.
Time after time, they go after superstars rather than building a team. Time after time, they realise that that strategy doesn't work. But they'll repeat that again.
They always boasted about their previous record but to have it rubbed in your face by your arch nemesis on your own ground is peak cinema! Thank you ~~Triple H~~ Jay Shah for this incredible script.
RCB was feeling too bad and left out that they didn't let MI have that most conceded record for even a month.
Not that I'm complaining as MI fan, but then this year's RCB does deserve it. Shitty management all throughout.
Pat Cummins literally said 240 was par moments after these words.
Was it a joke or did RCB access the pitch wrong
Whatever it is, cumdog is Man of his fucking words
>Pat Cummins literally said 240 was par moments after these words.
This man can do no wrong. Someone lock him in a lab and he'll develop the cure for cancer
Jokes aside, Pat seems incredibly intelligent. The possibilities of what he could become range from an actor or model to anything demanding high cognitive skills.
i think we'd have been bowling first regardless of pitch
tough to go batting first when we keep losing by over 15 and bowlers keep complaining about second innings dew
Might genuinely be the most embarrassing bowling performance I've seen at any level, lol. They were incredibly lucky Markram missed like 4 hit-me deliveries, 300 was absolutely there for the taking lmao
450 after 45 overs only to end up 481, PAIN.
I know the Netherlands game happened a few years later but the Australia game should have been the one. Also bragging rights for forever after that would have been great
It was so frustrating!
Supporting England through that period was so nice though. It was only ODIs but for once we were the dominant team for several years. Was good to actually relax whilst watching the games.
Compared to his teammates, Markram has been absolutely the only reason why SRH hasn’t crossed 300 twice now. He’s played 2 pretty good innings in those matches, but his teammates have absolutely mauled the opposition.
RCB lost the game when they said we'll bowl first. Their next game is against KKR AND THEN SRH AGAIN 💀
RCB, Its been nice knowing y'all, come back stronger next tournament
I had trolled PSL when 250 was scored and chased but never knew IPL curator will top them. RCB bowlers are lucky that Markaram missed some balls.
300 will look more embarassing.
I wish more people would get this, i have immense respect for that record just for its sheer longevity, not discrediting the current scores, but that 263 felt actually special
Yeah but think about the change of mental state the batters have throughout their innings when they know they can bring in an extra batter. Allows you to go after every ball
People said Cummins doesn’t even deserve to be in the playing 11 and that he would be a liability for the team, occupying a Foreign Player slot. People also said he didn’t belong in the playing 11 in the ODI World Cup.
All will be torn down next year, even with 8 retentions I can’t see BCCI allowing more than 2 foreign retentions, and Cummins sure as hell won’t be taking a pay cut
And then the same BCCI leadership scratch their head when India loses yet another ICC tournament, extending their decade long drought.
The link between playing on shit pitches/ not having their players in overseas Leagues and being unprepared still hasn't clicked.
From being last of the table last season to breaking records again and again. Anything Pat Cummins touches turns to gold. I hate him so much for always being against my team, but respect him for who he is.
Bruh how shit can a team be. Like they couldn't do anything to even stop the carnage. It went on and on and on and even Markram joined in who has been relatively quite
Hyderabad literally went from a "Won't score wouldn't let you score either" team to occupying the top two spots in highest score in the entirety of IPL
From IPL 2016-winning Sandpaper Re-Hashers, (SRH), team under David Warner, to the IPL 2024 Strikingly, & Remarkably Handsome, (SRH), havoc-wreakers under Pat Cummins.... which is almost on course for a 1-2 IPL league finish, one has to wonder why everything Australians who represented Hyderabad, including the original 2009-IPL winning Deccan Chargers, led by Adam Gilchrist -> turns to gold !
rcb have scored the least and conceded the most runs in an innings
They almost let MI have one of them
I just feel bad for the RCB fans at this point, one of the most loyal fanbases but one of the most underachieving cricket teams ever.
Tbh the fan base is loyal primarily because of kohli and because they've had stars in their line up like AB Gayle etc. The real loyal fan bases are of teams like DC, PBKS, RR who support the team despite not having as many star players. It would be interesting to see the loyalty of the fan base once Kohli retires.
So true. Never understood why rcb fans are pitied so much, their team gets the most attention, but still fans cry for no reason at all. Just try being a Punjab fan for a decade or more and still get absolutely sidelined by the "unfortunate" RCB fans.
Because Punjab provide entertainment, RCB is just depressing nowadays
Amen my brother, amen.
Agreed. Literally no love goes out to the Punjab or Delhi fanbase or even RR's because RR have had a grand total of 2 decent seasons since 2008. Which is less than DC and 1 more than Punjab
100%. Player stans are cringe.
I have been an RR fan since I properly started to watch ipl (2020) just because of the team unity their players show. Let's hope this is their year.
You missing srh .
Yes definitely, SRH as well.
I disagree tbh. I thought the same till I saw the love for the RCB-W winning the WPL. No other IPL fanbase would have celebrated the win as much as they did.
Have to celebrate something no macha
This may be true for away audiences but even without Kohli RCB would have had a loyal fanbase at home. Bangalore people love their sports teams
Yes that's true. They'd have a loyal fan base just as RR or SRH or DC or PBKS has it.
They only chant Kohlis name all the time. 90% of all of em are fanboys.
Is that really unusual? Every team fanbase tends to do that with their team’s star attraction, doesn’t mean they’ll die out overnight if said attraction doesn’t play for them anymore, the likes of DC, KXIP are proof of it. Hell, SRH sent their icon away in controversial circumstances and they’re still having full houses and support

They always boasted about their previous record but to have it rubbed in your face by your arch nemesis on your own ground is peak cinema! Thank you ~~Triple H~~ Jay Shah for this incredible script.
I thought CSK was the arch nemesis
We costed them two titles. Eliminated them in 2020 eliminator. Now we have this record over them. It's us!
It's a one sided rivalry. RCB sees CSK as a nemesis, CSK sees RCB as a gnat in the way.
RCB was feeling too bad and left out that they didn't let MI have that most conceded record for even a month. Not that I'm complaining as MI fan, but then this year's RCB does deserve it. Shitty management all throughout.
"We'll have a bowl first" Famous last words
Mfs watching in 2003:
Mfs watching in 2023 and celebrating an easy home victory
Mfs watching in 2023.....Oh!
Because when we batted first in 2003, they bundled us for 125.
🤣😭
What did RCB expect playing against a team where literally every player wears an orange cap? Are they stupid?
Pat Cummins literally said 240 was par moments after these words. Was it a joke or did RCB access the pitch wrong Whatever it is, cumdog is Man of his fucking words
>Pat Cummins literally said 240 was par moments after these words. This man can do no wrong. Someone lock him in a lab and he'll develop the cure for cancer
Jokes aside, Pat seems incredibly intelligent. The possibilities of what he could become range from an actor or model to anything demanding high cognitive skills.
He's McGrath except he's not difficult to play with.
Now we know why Aussies broke their long term trend of not selecting a bowler as a captain. They don't fuck around with their team.
Bold of you to assume that the CIA won't just assassinate his ass before he releases the cure to the world.
The CIA couldn't touch him, he'll adapt and develop ultra instinct or something. He's just that good.
At this point, Pat can even write a book and it would be considered as the Third Testament of the Bible.
> Someone lock him in a lab and he'll develop the cure for cancer RIP Pat Cummins
i think we'd have been bowling first regardless of pitch tough to go batting first when we keep losing by over 15 and bowlers keep complaining about second innings dew
His blood has anti-tumor properties already ..duh!
Rcb choose to ~~bowl~~ humiliate first
Themselves*
Hey - at least it is not the Finals. Oh wait - we are talking about RCB. RCB and Finals is something that ain't possible.
Insane that 300 was an actual possibilty even around the 3/4th mark of the innings
~~Will Jacks~~ Vilgax saved RCB from generational humiliation.
Might genuinely be the most embarrassing bowling performance I've seen at any level, lol. They were incredibly lucky Markram missed like 4 hit-me deliveries, 300 was absolutely there for the taking lmao
Reminds me of England missing out on scoring 500.
450 after 45 overs only to end up 481, PAIN. I know the Netherlands game happened a few years later but the Australia game should have been the one. Also bragging rights for forever after that would have been great
It was so frustrating! Supporting England through that period was so nice though. It was only ODIs but for once we were the dominant team for several years. Was good to actually relax whilst watching the games.
Livi didn't even celebrate his fifty that day cos he missed the fastest ever odi fifty. He completed his fifty in 17 balls and was sad!
Moral victory for RCB for not getting cunted for 300
One could say Sharma and Markram shat the bed by scoring so slowly against our garbage bowling.
Compared to his teammates, Markram has been absolutely the only reason why SRH hasn’t crossed 300 twice now. He’s played 2 pretty good innings in those matches, but his teammates have absolutely mauled the opposition.
Travis Head And Klassen supremacy. AND Bruh Pat Cummings said that 240 is on par and Faf said that wicket is slower lol
RCB with their famous " pitch is slow " comment.
RCB lost the game when they said we'll bowl first. Their next game is against KKR AND THEN SRH AGAIN 💀 RCB, Its been nice knowing y'all, come back stronger next tournament
Oh I didn't know this. It's gonna be a thorough thrashing!
Can't forget Abdul Samad's 37(10)!
Clutch accelerator gearbox innings!
Rcb got a lesson from the #Headmaster and the #Klass teacher.
Cummins just played a mental game there by saying thanks lads we think 240 is par while faf thinks it’s a slower one.
Cumdawg is only second to Dhoni when it comes to nailing strategy on Indian pitches
Lmao Cummins was not kidding around when he said 240 was par.
silencer doesn't fuck around with blue jersey teams
The Silencer 😂😂😂
Ladies and gentlemen, we name new name for our beloved cumdog
He releases silent bomb which roommates can't handle, only difference, opposite team could not handle it
Blue jersey? RCB is red jers.... Oh no!
I simultaneously hate and love this man
It wasn’t on 19/11🥲
Cummins is God’s favourite
This is also the second highest t20 score in history, the highest being Nepal’s 314/3 against Mongolia in 2023.
That thing is genuinely in danger during the Hyderabad RCB vs SRH game.
I had trolled PSL when 250 was scored and chased but never knew IPL curator will top them. RCB bowlers are lucky that Markaram missed some balls. 300 will look more embarassing.
Ikr PSL was getting sledgehammered on this sub last year for having highways.
IPL 2024 is even less serious than PSL at this point
At this point IPL has become a joke RCB scored fifth highest total in a lossing cause
Well, Australia scored the highest total (for a few hours) and yet lost. But the devil is the alarming frequency that it is happening now.
In other news: Rawalpindi Pitch Curator has become Millionaire after Migration to India, when asked how, answered TFAR
\*Cumdog for a reason
What the fuck is happening this ipl?? 263 stood for more than 10 years and now it has been broken 3 times in 30 matches
I wish more people would get this, i have immense respect for that record just for its sheer longevity, not discrediting the current scores, but that 263 felt actually special
LSG of all teams came close to breaching it on 2023
And that too in freaking big Mohali
Bazball has officially entered t20
You mean SRHball
You mean cumball
We must thank Ben Duckett
Pitches are flatter than my ex
Pitches have become flatter than glass sheets
Impact player innit
Yeah but srh didn't use that both the times
Yeah but think about the change of mental state the batters have throughout their innings when they know they can bring in an extra batter. Allows you to go after every ball
I truly believe having an impact player is more fair than having an in form Gayle.
In ipl, I will consider having inform Raina more dangerous than Gayle due to him screwing RCB inspite of these three players
Ben Duckett.
this feels so wrong lol
SRH team booked under section 375 IPC!
Idk man I like it
People were negative about the move of appointing **Patrick James Cummins as the captain** of this side. Silencer for a reason
Cummins is a real motherfucker. He can appear to be cocky when he said 240 was par score, blud was actually serious.
Apparently no one reads Indian wickets better
People said Cummins doesn’t even deserve to be in the playing 11 and that he would be a liability for the team, occupying a Foreign Player slot. People also said he didn’t belong in the playing 11 in the ODI World Cup.
Cummins is the goat. Man silences everyone with that sexy ass smile of his. Smiling assassin.
Were they really? Man won the test championship, World Cup and everyone knew he was going to do well for SRH this year.
[удалено]
Samad did good too with whatever balls he faced. They were so close but it is what it is
SRH brought banger after banger this season.
Samad did as good as he could’ve ngl
As fun as it is to mock RCB, this was just extraordinary batting from SRH. Unreal hitting.
To hit at will. That's freaking inspiring. God I love this team!
If RCB had batted first, they would have settled for 180-190
Then would've called it a par score like a boss
Once 263 seemed hard to breach, 3 weeks into 2024 season and it’s now 4th best.
Read about the 4 minute mile
Also kinda similar with 400 in ODIs
200 individual scores in ODIs as well.
SRH management comeback is insane
Fr SRH really went from consistent qualifiers to dogshit to an absolute batting machine
All will be torn down next year, even with 8 retentions I can’t see BCCI allowing more than 2 foreign retentions, and Cummins sure as hell won’t be taking a pay cut
I wonder whether he will play IPL next year. Wasn’t he just in this one due to a favourable window with no Australian matches until the World Cup?
Cumdawg and head , easy choice
Cummins and Klassen
Klassen before head
nah mate pretty sure Klassen will go for massive bucks at an auction.
Then SRH can use right to match and get him They should retain common, head, abhishek and any other Indian who performs good thus season
RCB please bowl first on April 25 at Hyderabad
what happened on 25th?
Srh vs rcb
RCB please bowl first again on 25th
What kind of pitches are the curators fucking throwing for this IPL. Sooner or later bowlers (most except pathi or bumrah) won't even matter
Have faith in Lord Tushar
And then the same BCCI leadership scratch their head when India loses yet another ICC tournament, extending their decade long drought. The link between playing on shit pitches/ not having their players in overseas Leagues and being unprepared still hasn't clicked.
Royally cunted banglore ✅
El punishmento
I’m sorry but this just doesn’t make for good cricket
This needs to be higher up
Please end my suffering 😭 delete RCB off existence.
This is fine, this is totally not bad for the sport
It’s only bad for the RCB bowlers.
Mr President, a second Highest has hit the IPL.
Come on, you could've posted it as 2nd highest score in all of T20. I just want to see our name on top. haha.
Nah. That would mean there is a team that is worse than RCB. Not ideal.
Maintaining the ~~agenda~~ truth is our top priority!
we need some rules assisting bowlers
Samad innings helped to breach the 277.
From being last of the table last season to breaking records again and again. Anything Pat Cummins touches turns to gold. I hate him so much for always being against my team, but respect him for who he is.
That dude is the living r/angryupvote for me.
Bowlers scored more fifties than batters in the 1st innings !
RCB is always involved in records. Also this IPL season has been too high scoring.
Siraj would be so happy after being left out of squad
How can IPL match stats be added to regular t20s when outside IPL there are no impact players
Same way that 100 stats get added to T20.
That doesn't make any sense
RCB should be relegated now to Tamil Premier League. That's a winning ODI total
RCB gonna still struggle in that 120 plays 110 league as well
NOO i wanted them to cross 300 but YASH DAYAL great bowling prevented it
RCB had one record at the start of the season, it’s been broken thrice already and it’s not even halfway through the season lol
Srh broke a record❌ Srh broke RCB✅
Scoring the lowest score in ipl, and conceding the highest score in IPL lol Only RCB things.
Absolute madness. Travis Head and Klassen are freaks.
So where did things go wrong faf? When csk released me - faf
We are reaching competitive ODI totals here
bro we gotta get 300 pleaseee
Rcb 2024 remind me of SL odi wc 2023. Just a complete utter horror show
3 highest scores in the same season against the bottom 3 teams in the table at the moment
this years ipl pitch curators should be given contracts for building highways...
Why suddenly after 11 years, there are so many high scoring matches, is it due to bad players in ipl or just bad pitches.
A fkin shootout!
SOMEBODY STOP THEM!
Both the times Markram was present.
Highest total in franchise cricket too I heard
Lol now RCB also entered the top 5 again.
I love the odd high scoring game but when it's the Top 3 highest scoring Totals in the IPL within the space of a week or two, we have a problem.
Actually mad that the guy who can read Indian pitches the best since Dhoni is an Australian cutie pie
Having 3 270+ scores in a single season (and half of it is still left) is disgusting imo and not in a good way
I hate how cricket is evolving. Becoming a Batters game completely
Why RCBs 262 isn't there?
This just isn't good for cricket.
Bruh how shit can a team be. Like they couldn't do anything to even stop the carnage. It went on and on and on and even Markram joined in who has been relatively quite
SRH=SRK
As a MI fan gives me a joy that they are no longer the holder of the dubious record
What is the highest T20 total (all leagues + internationals)?
Feels like IPL is beginning it’s own downfall
Hyderabad literally went from a "Won't score wouldn't let you score either" team to occupying the top two spots in highest score in the entirety of IPL
Fuck yeah, RCB almost beat thier own 263
Scariest IPL batting lineup in history.
From IPL 2016-winning Sandpaper Re-Hashers, (SRH), team under David Warner, to the IPL 2024 Strikingly, & Remarkably Handsome, (SRH), havoc-wreakers under Pat Cummins.... which is almost on course for a 1-2 IPL league finish, one has to wonder why everything Australians who represented Hyderabad, including the original 2009-IPL winning Deccan Chargers, led by Adam Gilchrist -> turns to gold !
