Royal Challengers Bengaluru registered a huge win over Chennai Super Kings to become the fourth team to seal their spot in the IPL 2024 playoffs. RCB went into the match with a win needed to seal the place in their Top 4 spot and they were able to clinch the game by 27 runs. And, former India cricketer Ambati Rayudu trolled RCB’s celebrations and joked that CSK should give them one of their trophies as well as they have won five IPL trophies so far.
“RCB have already won the IPL. The way they celebrated last night. There are on their way and the whole streets of Bengaluru is filled with RCB fans,” Rayudu said on Star Sports. Rayudu’s former teammate Varun Aaron then hilariously trolled him. “Just pure CSK. Just not able to digest the fact that they have lost,” Aaron interjected.
However, Rayudu continued to speak about RCB’s win after the match as well. “CSK should give one of their trophies to RCB and they can parade it around Bengaluru,” he countered. “He’s just not able to digest the fact that RCB knocked out CSK,” Aaron replied.

Meanwhile, RCB captain Faf Du Plessis dedicated his Man of the Match award to pace bowler Yash Dayal who brilliantly bowled the final over and helped RCB win.
“I dedicate this Man of the Match to Yash Dayal. The way he bowled was unbelievable. For a man who’s fairly new, he deserves it. [on what he told Dayal before the last over] Pace off is the best option on this pitch and trust your skills and enjoy, this is what you trained for. The yorker did not work the 1st ball and he went back to pace off and it worked unbelievably well,” Faf said after the match.
