Online food deliverygiant Swiggy took a hilarious dig at Royal Challengers Bengaluru regarding their performance in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are on a three-match losing streak after losing to Rajasthan Royals at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday. After posting a total of 183/3, thanks to Virat Kohli's brilliant unbeaten 113 off 72 balls, RCB failed to defend the total as RR chased down the 184-run target with four balls to spare in the final over.
Opener Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson were at their best as they unleashed their firepower to put Rajasthan Royals in a commanding position after an early wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Buttler played brilliant innings of 100 off 58 balls while Sanju scored 69 off 42 balls.
After their third successive defeat, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were trolled for not being able to defend the target of above 180. Swiggy too joined and trolled RCB with a famous meme of three snakes. The meme depicted that Bengaluru Benne Dosa and Bengaluru's Meghana Biryani are much better than Royal Challengers Bengaluru's performance in the IPL 2024.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru began their campaign with a defeat in the opening match of the IPL 2024 against Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. Thereafter, Faf du Plessis-led side opened their account with a win against Punjab Kings. Then, RCB went on three-match losing streak against Kolkata Knight Riders, Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals.
With the third defeat on the trot, Royal Challengers Bengaluru are currently at the ninth spot with just two points. RCB are often trolled for getting hands on the trophy despite having star-studded players in the squad. The last time the Bengaluru-based team reached the final was in 2016, where they lost to SunRisers Hyderabad.
RCB reached the playoffs in the three consecutive IPL seasons from 2020 to 2022 but didn't go beyond the knockout stage. In IPL 2023, Royal Challengers Bengaluru failed to qualify for the playoffs after finishing sixth with seven wins and as many losses in the league stage of the tournament.
It remains to be seen how Royal Challengers Bengaluru are going fare in the remainder of the IPL 2024 after winning just one match out of 4 games. RCB will play their next match against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium.
