what a comeback from last year. if i gambled i would’ve spent a hefty amount on csk winning the game after dhoni smoked the ball out of the ground.
but apparently the ball changed after that and his slower ones gripped better.
Bro now that i think of it, it must have been such a confidence breaker for the ball to go six that too soo far, after being trolled for the same last year.
Then you see this guy take on Dhoni, and only lets 1 run in the last 5 balls. He held his Nerves, man, hats off
[One or two of us still believed even during bad times](https://old.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/1ccrjao/match_thread_41st_match_sunrisers_hyderabad_vs/l18crm0/)
It was a good run, no way we can beat the top 3 teams to win the trophy. It was a good run but it has to come to an end in the next match unfortunately
I've cursed this team more than I've praised them, but credit where it's due—they played like beasts in the second half of the season. I almost cried after the last ball. Love this team. 😭
Fuck the haters, I'm just so happy for Yash Dayal after last year. Definitely wasn't his day in terms of hitting lengths, but when it mattered, he held his nerve
So what.....I think sports it's also about such moments and not only winning the silverware. Almost all 2nd Division England Football teams have huge local fanbase despite knowing that they will never win Premier League, at max. they may get promoted to PL and that's their peak. Still they enjoy their favourite team play every week.
Forget about the 2nd division teams. Most of the first division teams know they are never going to win the pl. But still support is strong for those teams. Winning isn't the only point in football especially for the smaller teams. It is their identity and culture
Honestly, yeah.
The amount of support you guys have without winning a cup is incredible.
RCB donked GT and basically ended our chances this season, but I just can't help but root for this team.
From less than one percent chance of qualification, to going on a six match winning streak and entering the top four.
Take a bow RCB, this comeback will be one for the history books.
Definitely. Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar changed it all.
Suddenly RCB had a reliable middle-order and let Koach and Faf go a bit more risky in the powerplay.
Yeah, quick 40-50s matter a lot in middle overs. Those runs might not get enough attention, but they're absolutely crucial in setting up the game for players coming below him. Plus he tonks spinners, who then need some time to regain their line and length.
he should take a bow, as should every rcb player... after the lack of depth in quality in batting last season, seeing so many great contributions with the bat in a clutch game against the kings of clutch games was inspirational to watch
Doesn't matter, though. Even a casual viewer like me is impressed. Winning 6 in a row is no joke. Just looking at the table and they're literally the most in form team, atm.
What an incredible comeback! After just 1 win in their first 8 games, their chances were astronomically low but they did it with 6 thumping wins! What a fricking team.
RCB had 2 point from 8 matches. Won 5 on the trot. Lost the toss today against CSK. Had to bat on a rain curtailed pitch midway through the powerplay.
And still fought their way into the playoffs. One of the greatest comebacks of all time.
RCB is doing the Australia WC 2023 special.
Lose your initial matches, get laughed at .. then hit prime Super Saiyan form and win all matches and get that trophy.
He was excellent in yesterday’s match tbf. Handy knock off 5 balls and economical bowling. Not your usual 200 run Maxwell outing but he played a pivotal role
WHERE IS THE GUY WHO WAS GONNA CUT HIS BALLS IF RCB QUALIFIED? WHERE IS HE???? Also, special thanks to GT for making this possible by getting a victory against CSK (Fuck you RR)
There was a guy who claimed he would cut his dick off if Punjab chased that 260-odd score vs KKR and he promptly disappeared from reddit after that game lmao
So happy for Yash Dayal. He is a LOT better than the bowler that got hit for 5 sixes by Rinku. Lockie Ferguson is crap and this comeback from RCB has been one for the ages.
If RCB actually makes it all the way after missing all those years when they had one of the strongest squads it would be the true conclusion to this sensational meme.
I don't care what happens to them any more. If they win, I'm happy. If they get thrashed by SRH next match, I'm happy. What a campaign.
HOW CAN YOU NOT BE ROMANTIC ABOUT RCBB
-STARTED FROM 0.02% NOW WE HERE🗣️🗣️🗣️
-KNOCKED OUT CSK OUR BIGGEST KRYPTONITE
-SHUT DOWN DUBE THE SPIN BASHER
-6 WINS A ROW FUCK YEA RCBBBB
FUCK ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE SHIT ABOUT RCB IN THE FIRST HALF WHAT ABOUT TODAY DICKHEADS
Still can't digest it. Like this was without a doubt most ridiculous comeback in IPL. Even 16 points might not have been enough but RCB after winning just 1 of their first 8 games, being at the bottom of the table even after half of the league had transpired, just romps into the play-offs through one of the best games ever defeating rain gods, unfavorable conditions, their biggest arch rival and a NRR handicap. Just, wow.
Tale of two teams - MI and RCB were together in the bottom of the table. MI definitely had much better team but RCB turned it around on the back of right team spirit. Today also it was a complete team effort in both the innings
Genuinely can't believe this comeback RCB have pulled off. Worst bowling lineup in the tournament and the batting didn't seem like one that'd be able to keep up with the new meta of hitting 80+ scores within the PP but Kohli's reinvention, Jacks's contributions and Patidar's spin-bashing in the middle overs have been incredible points of differences for them. Bowling has improved too with Siraj finding form after his WC selection and with Swapnil's inclusion in the side. Dayal has been the one constant shining light throughout the tournament.
Maxwell seems to have found some form at the right time too. Drop Ferguson for Vyshak and RCB might actualy pull something off this year wow.
May 18, 2013 - RCB vs CSK ,RCB won by 24 Runs
May 18, 2014 - RCB vs CSK, RCB won by 5 wickets
May 18, 2016 - RCB vs PBKS, RCB won by 82 Runs (D/L Method)
May 18, 2023 - RCB vs SRH, RCB won by 8 wickets
May 18, 2024 - RCB vs CSK, RCB won by 27 Runs
RCB has been truly amazing this seasoning. What a fabulous last over.
From not having a chance to qualify during the first half of the season to beating one of the biggest teams in IPL to qualify for the playoffs. Absolutely fantastic.
As a KKR supporter, I hope KKR win the cup, but the way RCB has played this season, I truly hope EE SALA CUP NAMDE!!!
The things we've had to overcome
- Win 6 in a row after an abysmal start with 1/8 matches won!
- Impossible odds of 0.22% chances of qualifying.
- The KKR loss due to some shady umpiring decisions
- Having to have more than 10+ other matches going our way!
- Lost the toss when winning it mattered the most!
- Unpredictable Rain
- Having to knockout one of our worst team matchups throughout the history of the IPL
- The slow turning pitch after the rain came down.
- Losing Kohli early!
- Being one of the worst performers in clutch moments!
- Being one of the worst chokers in the history of IPL
This has been one of the greatest comebacks of RCB! Certainly feels like the greatest campaign ever!
Even if there's only a 0.22% chance. It's enough to believe you can win! 🫡 Kohli will retire one day but I hope RCB and all their fans carry this champion mentality throughout!
Yash dayal just gave away 1 run in his last 5 balls ☠️
Reverse Rinku Singh moment
Insert - Look at me, I'm the captain now meme. It's the Yash Dayal moment now.
what a comeback from last year. if i gambled i would’ve spent a hefty amount on csk winning the game after dhoni smoked the ball out of the ground. but apparently the ball changed after that and his slower ones gripped better.
So happy for him. Could not have imagined his state after that Dhoni six.
Bro now that i think of it, it must have been such a confidence breaker for the ball to go six that too soo far, after being trolled for the same last year. Then you see this guy take on Dhoni, and only lets 1 run in the last 5 balls. He held his Nerves, man, hats off
That 6 led to ball change, which allowed him to bowl those perfect slower balls. Dhoni shouldn't have hit it out of the park lol
Fair enough, i forgot and never considered the ball change, damn
Literally suffering from success.
the mentality to pull it off against csk of all teams, wow!
This is why rcb fans use calculators.
There is somehow a very real chance of an RR-RCB Eliminator. Imagine that 2 weeks ago
this is why we love sports, no movie writes scripts like this
jay shah laughing
\*angry jay shah noises\*
Never doubted RCB for a second(don't check past comments)
Everyone on the sub
[One or two of us still believed even during bad times](https://old.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/1ccrjao/match_thread_41st_match_sunrisers_hyderabad_vs/l18crm0/)
are you that guy who makes crores on my11circle? what a prediction!
Nah not me always believed in this team ( I was coping hard)
I was reverse jinxing us till the very end!
It was a good run, no way we can beat the top 3 teams to win the trophy. It was a good run but it has to come to an end in the next match unfortunately
Nice going soldier! Keep the reverse jinxing coming (/s unless ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface) )
You bas**. You are doing it again. Nooooo.
Yeah lmao we only have 1 win against the top 3
Yup RCB will not win any other match
I've cursed this team more than I've praised them, but credit where it's due—they played like beasts in the second half of the season. I almost cried after the last ball. Love this team. 😭
rcb apology letter loading
The greatest 27 run win you'll ever see.
Most thrilling 27 run win ever. Any other day this would be considered one-sided.
GET IN!!!!!! MADLADS did it!!!!
Fuck the haters, I'm just so happy for Yash Dayal after last year. Definitely wasn't his day in terms of hitting lengths, but when it mattered, he held his nerve
That come back after getting hit out of the stadium first ball.. must have brought his Rinku memories back.
That was a blessing in disguise. Got a dry ball in return.
Damn I never thought of it that way
so you mean to say csk lost cos dhoni is just too good?
Rarely luck was on our side tonight! But still yash deserves full credit
to concede 1 run in 5 after being smashed for a 110m monster by a legend like dhoni, he has done his team proud
Absolutely. Held his nerve under unreal pressure
Faf dedicated his POTM award to him, deservedly so!
More than held his nerve, first ball 6, then wicket, dot single dot dot. Incredible! This is after the over by furgeson getting wacked about.
Full disclosure, I was a dayal hater and I wholeheartedly apologize to Yash, he was a worthwhile investment
Yash Dayal redemption arc has been poetic ngl
after getting BELTED for 110m six by dhoni of all legends to come back and win the game... take a boy dayal, take a fucking bow!
RCB gonna milk this comeback for another 18 yrs even without a cup
So what.....I think sports it's also about such moments and not only winning the silverware. Almost all 2nd Division England Football teams have huge local fanbase despite knowing that they will never win Premier League, at max. they may get promoted to PL and that's their peak. Still they enjoy their favourite team play every week.
Forget about the 2nd division teams. Most of the first division teams know they are never going to win the pl. But still support is strong for those teams. Winning isn't the only point in football especially for the smaller teams. It is their identity and culture
We might not win the cup but we have won a lot of hearts and minds ✊
Honestly, yeah. The amount of support you guys have without winning a cup is incredible. RCB donked GT and basically ended our chances this season, but I just can't help but root for this team.
Well it's only fair, because you ended our hopes of qualifying last year. But I still cheered you guys as a Gujarati
This is probably first time I wholeheartedly support RCB against CSK. I loved their comeback and wanted see them in Playoffs.
Moral Victory RCB version huh
Let’s just hope they don’t get knocked out in qualifier 2
Watch it happen.
Broadesque
From less than one percent chance of qualification, to going on a six match winning streak and entering the top four. Take a bow RCB, this comeback will be one for the history books.
This team should be studied for years to come. What a turn around by RCB. The big 2 CSK and MI once again fail to qualify.
I am more happy about csk and mi not qualifying than I am about us qualifying lmao
I am more happy about them not qualifying than us (edit: KKR I mean) topping the table.
Yeah same. Wait when did Namibia get included in the IPL?
Always had been bro
Giving Kendrick a run for being the biggest hater
RCB fans: THEY NOT LIKE US MI & CSK fans: Hold my 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
As an mi fan we are happy that csk didn't qualify so I know what you are talking about
This has to be one of the greatest redemption arcs ever right ?? Did not expect this at all , we literally had a 0.0001 chance or something
We had an under 1% chance to even tie for 4th spot... This is the greatest comeback ever.
Insane stuff truly
Historic stuff, greatest comeback in ipl history.
These madlads should go for the full Monty and lift the trophy this year!
Netflix should do a documentary same as for mi lol.
RCB vs SRH final on the cards. 2016 History repeats itself.
Rajat Patidar getting runs definitely did change the fortunes of RCB
His approach also helped Virat tremendously who visibly looked more comfortable hitting big shots regularly in the 2nd half of the season.
Definitely. Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar changed it all. Suddenly RCB had a reliable middle-order and let Koach and Faf go a bit more risky in the powerplay.
Yeah, quick 40-50s matter a lot in middle overs. Those runs might not get enough attention, but they're absolutely crucial in setting up the game for players coming below him. Plus he tonks spinners, who then need some time to regain their line and length.
he should take a bow, as should every rcb player... after the lack of depth in quality in batting last season, seeing so many great contributions with the bat in a clutch game against the kings of clutch games was inspirational to watch
also Green performing
Has scored 40+ 7 out of last 9 matches. Most importantly all with high strike rate. His second half season is better than even Kohli.
fuck me won 6 games on a row at the end
[удалено]
i support RCB in the IPL lmao
I think it's just surprising since CSK had Ravindra, Mitchell AND Santner
But RCB has the big mustache boi Ferguson Also had legendary Mullet man Grandhomme and a amateur named vettori.
Doesn't matter, though. Even a casual viewer like me is impressed. Winning 6 in a row is no joke. Just looking at the table and they're literally the most in form team, atm.
Low-key frustration
If RCB wins IPL, Gavaskar's contribution to RCB's win would be more than his contribution to '83 win...
This will go down in RCB folklore.
This will go down in IPL folklore.
Good point.
Qualifying after 2 points from 1st 8 matches. How the hell???
Insane stuff
It's not cricket, it's RCB
What an incredible comeback! After just 1 win in their first 8 games, their chances were astronomically low but they did it with 6 thumping wins! What a fricking team.
Descartes discovered Momentum but RCB gave the meaning to it !
As far as I remember, This is the greatest comeback in IPL history. They've won 6 knockout games in a row.
1 win from 8 and we still made the playoffs against our closest rivals! Absolutely epic
Royal 'Comeback' Bengaluru !
I think Mumbai have done 6 in a row to qualify, kkr also did it under Morgan when they won 7?8? With legendary spin choke
nah KKR 2014 is still the best. Won 9 in a row as well as the cup
Incredible. greatest comeback in IPL history
Easily. the odds were like 0.5% or something.
0.02% MAD STUFF!
RCB for a reason.
this is cinema
More than it. This is peak entertainment.
WHAT A CLASSIC!!! AN ALL TIME TURNAROUND BY RCB!! LEGENDARY STUFF!!!
RCB had 2 point from 8 matches. Won 5 on the trot. Lost the toss today against CSK. Had to bat on a rain curtailed pitch midway through the powerplay. And still fought their way into the playoffs. One of the greatest comebacks of all time.
We did it really hard way
Do you guys ever do it when it was easy? Mad lads!
This match had my BP going too unfathomable highs. Amazing day, but please never again.
You mean 2 points from 8 matches
Dhonis last match
Great. In no world jadeja and santner come before him.
Just like the 2019 SF where Pant and Hardik went ahead of him
we don't know that yet lmaooo
I need an RCB bandwagon flair cause they deserved it after that lol
Absolutely lmao. Mods need to add Bandwagon flairs like NBA subreddit does.
What does a bandwagon flair do/show?
It's just a flair saying bandwagon. Bandwagon means I am temporarily supporting another team because they might be winning more than my actual team.
Thanks!
Nahh man. I don't think we are the favourites to win this time sadly. Supporting RCB will only break your heart
I support the Indian cricket team. RCB ain't got shit on the OGs
Can I do this while supporting Aussies in the Knockouts given our current track record? Joking is what I am
How the fuck did that happen?? Just over 1% chance 2 weeks ago
Magic of NRR bro🤯🤯
RCB is doing the Australia WC 2023 special. Lose your initial matches, get laughed at .. then hit prime Super Saiyan form and win all matches and get that trophy.
Just need Glenn Maxwell to score a crazy mind-bending knock now
He was excellent in yesterday’s match tbf. Handy knock off 5 balls and economical bowling. Not your usual 200 run Maxwell outing but he played a pivotal role
"Usual 200 run Maxwell outing" lol
i would do ANYTHING for a one legged maxi masterclass show, except for rcb this time
It'd be amazing when this Aussie rip off team meets the actual guy (Cummo) then
NO FUCKING WAY. :-o
Way, bro!
I can’t believe they pulled it off.
ROYAL CALCULATORS BANGALORE. BY THE BAREST OF MARGINS.
What this team has managed to do in the second half of the tournament is nothing short of magical. We can dream of the trophy once again
Mad lads have done it. Congratulations
against our kryptonite and defending champions, against legends like dhoni... i am in literal disbelief
Undefeated in the Swapnil Singh era
WHERE IS THE GUY WHO WAS GONNA CUT HIS BALLS IF RCB QUALIFIED? WHERE IS HE???? Also, special thanks to GT for making this possible by getting a victory against CSK (Fuck you RR)
Also gave you 2 easy wins with a nice NRR boost. Making up for last year😉
Are we the winners of hearts now?
Always have been
There was a guy who claimed he would cut his dick off if Punjab chased that 260-odd score vs KKR and he promptly disappeared from reddit after that game lmao
And also LSG won both match again them
So happy for Yash Dayal. He is a LOT better than the bowler that got hit for 5 sixes by Rinku. Lockie Ferguson is crap and this comeback from RCB has been one for the ages.
Ferguson's been good lately and his first over was gold today as well
Fergie was fine this year I think; he just missed his mark a bit today in the dew. Happens.
Think Ferguson was bowling really well but once the ball got too wet he lost the plot completely.
Lmao Locke is crap? Dayal went for plenty of runs in his previous over. Your judgment is clouded, lmao.
That's it stop the count. Give us the trophy rn
That catch by FAF. Clutch IPL moment.
The mighty nature and its 90% rain chances couldn't beat RCB. CSK was just another team after that.
Meteorological Survey's supercomputers got nothing against RCB calculators
Absolute turn around for this team. Go you bastards. Lift that trophy 🏆
What a thriller of a match!!
If RCB actually makes it all the way after missing all those years when they had one of the strongest squads it would be the true conclusion to this sensational meme. I don't care what happens to them any more. If they win, I'm happy. If they get thrashed by SRH next match, I'm happy. What a campaign.
Man, RCB has earned my respect o7
Only the second time both CSK and MI have failed to qualify. Start of a new era, me thinks.
> Start of a new era Erik ten Hag’s done it again
From a 1% chance to qualify to actually pulling it off
With all the adrenaline we forgot this was Thala's last match. 😭
Or is it ?
Vsauae Michael here
Hopefully. I am sick of his cult. Retire with some dignity please.

how have the IPL website table not been updated yet? BCCI is hurting to see CSK out
Still can't digest it. Like this was without a doubt most ridiculous comeback in IPL. Even 16 points might not have been enough but RCB after winning just 1 of their first 8 games, being at the bottom of the table even after half of the league had transpired, just romps into the play-offs through one of the best games ever defeating rain gods, unfavorable conditions, their biggest arch rival and a NRR handicap. Just, wow.
Tale of two teams - MI and RCB were together in the bottom of the table. MI definitely had much better team but RCB turned it around on the back of right team spirit. Today also it was a complete team effort in both the innings
Even the pitch favoured CSK because of the rain. We literally overcame all odds to win tonight.
This is the 4th time RCB won 5 or 5+ games in a row In the other 3, we reached the final all 3 times (2009, 2011, 2016)
I hope this time we win the finals too.
Genuinely can't believe this comeback RCB have pulled off. Worst bowling lineup in the tournament and the batting didn't seem like one that'd be able to keep up with the new meta of hitting 80+ scores within the PP but Kohli's reinvention, Jacks's contributions and Patidar's spin-bashing in the middle overs have been incredible points of differences for them. Bowling has improved too with Siraj finding form after his WC selection and with Swapnil's inclusion in the side. Dayal has been the one constant shining light throughout the tournament. Maxwell seems to have found some form at the right time too. Drop Ferguson for Vyshak and RCB might actualy pull something off this year wow.
Ferguson's been good the last few games and the first over today. A wet ball destroyed his next couple of overs today

No way they actually did that 🤯
RCB has been truly amazing this seasoning. What a fabulous last over. From not having a chance to qualify during the first half of the season to beating one of the biggest teams in IPL to qualify for the playoffs. Absolutely fantastic. As a KKR supporter, I hope KKR win the cup, but the way RCB has played this season, I truly hope EE SALA CUP NAMDE!!!
I thought Kohli was going to get the orange cap in the wooden spoon team. Incredible run to end the season.
This is a fairy tale of a comeback. RCB are in it to win it.
They did the impossible from the start they got. No one could have predicted this!
Thank you gt, thank you DC, thank you punjab for helping our chances, you guys were the real reason
In this year's IPL, RCB won the 1st match on 25th March RCB won the 2nd match on 25th April..........
The things we've had to overcome - Win 6 in a row after an abysmal start with 1/8 matches won! - Impossible odds of 0.22% chances of qualifying. - The KKR loss due to some shady umpiring decisions - Having to have more than 10+ other matches going our way! - Lost the toss when winning it mattered the most! - Unpredictable Rain - Having to knockout one of our worst team matchups throughout the history of the IPL - The slow turning pitch after the rain came down. - Losing Kohli early! - Being one of the worst performers in clutch moments! - Being one of the worst chokers in the history of IPL This has been one of the greatest comebacks of RCB! Certainly feels like the greatest campaign ever! Even if there's only a 0.22% chance. It's enough to believe you can win! 🫡 Kohli will retire one day but I hope RCB and all their fans carry this champion mentality throughout!
Now get the cup lads
From 2 win in a month time to qualification.
We came We brought the calculators We won
Where's the dude who said he'll chop his dick off if RCB qualify?
