Royal Challengers Bangalore found themselves empty-handed again in the Indian Premier League (IPL) after they lost out of the IPL 2022 to Rajasthan Royals in the Qualifier 2. The loss left RCB waiting for an IPL title. This season RCB had a new captain in Faf du Plessis. They qualified for the IPL playoffs in fourth place and then defeated Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator. However, they couldn’t go any further than that after their loss to Rajasthan Royals.
Now the old image of an RCB fan, who had previously gone viral, has resurfaced on social media, where she is holding a poster that reads “Not Gettin’ Married Till RCB Wins IPL Trophy”.
RCB fans and their expectations.

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batter Virat Kohli had high hopes for him as he walked away to open the batter alongside skipper Faf du Plessis in Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. In the opening bowled over by Trent Boult, Kohli knocked the ball off his pads for a six over deep-square leg and it looked like the batter was in the zone. However, in the next over, the 33-year-old was fired by Prasidh Krishna after scoring just 7 runs. The dismissal was a disturbing sign as RCB’s batter chased a short and wide pitch to hand a simple flyout to wicketkeeper Sanju Samson.
Former Indian players Virender Sehwag and Parthiv Patel discussed in detail the dismissal and Kohli’s performance in general this season.
Sehwag went on to say that Kohli has probably made more mistakes in this season of IPL than in his entire career.

“When you’re not in shape, you try to get every ball in the middle to gain confidence. In the first over he did let go of some throws, but this is exactly what happens when you’re not in shape, you go chasing to sit.” “Sometimes luck is more favorable to you, the ball doesn’t hit the edge of your bat. But it didn’t happen this way. This is not the Virat Kohli we know; this might be another Virat Kohli this season,” Sehwag said during Cricbuzz’s show halfway through the inning.
“The number of mistakes he’s made this season, he probably hasn’t made that many in his entire career. If you don’t score points, you try to do different things and then you get fired in different ways. This time, Virat Kohli is sacked in every way possible. He could have let that ball go or he could have gone hard for it. He disappointed his fans and RCB fans, it was such a big game,” he added.
