Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are encountering a challenging season in IPL 2024, facing defeats in five out of their first six games. Led by Faf du Plessis, the team finds itself at the bottom of the points table. In their recent match against Mumbai Indians (MI), RCB posted a formidable total of 196/8 in 20 overs. However, MI chased down the target comfortably in just 15.3 overs, with standout performances from Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav, who scored 69 and 52 runs respectively.
Despite their struggles on the field, RCB players are maintaining a positive demeanor off the field. This was evident in an advertisement featuring Virat Kohli, Mohammed Siraj, and Faf.
