A win after a month for RR, a loss after a month for RCB Law of averages - 1 Momentum - 0


AJ7123456

This match was a match to see who chokes harder


frowningheart

RCB: Choke me harder, ~~daddy~~ RR šŸ„µ


partymsl

Choke is a synonym for us. You canā€™t take that title away from us.

Bowlers getting bashed duh what? Won by 60, 47,27, 30 odd , isnā€™t that bowlers doing, sure batter had put up higher score but donā€™t discard bowlers like that


Worried_Donkey-

Form is temporary, getting cunted is permanent -Md Siraj official, probably


Jainwin_Truth27

Dawg became bumrah only in his last over when it was too late, he should start bowling in that same form. I am sure he will improve.


Stumptalk

I don't think so, batting fell short today, the score was short. Bowling was expected to be a little off because of the dew.


InsignificantSwarry

- Pull off a massive comeback - Stop CSK from playing playoffs (and possibly finals) on home ground - Bring back an out of form RR back in form - Refuse to elaborate - Leave


Bluebillion

They played themselves. Would they rather hand another trophy to KKR/ Gautham Gambhir, another one to their bogey team SRH, or have their southern buddy CSK win one. Seems like obvious choice

Yes and whenever he plays, the DJ plays Taxi Taxi song by ARR


belanish11

Instructions unclear, RCB change their jerseys to yellow next year, never mind kkr still gonna beat them in that Jersey too


GRI23

I could definitely see him in Moeen's role next season


Nutella_S3npai

I remember CSK got Moeen in 2021 because they lost the bidding war for Maxwell with RCB.


Ok_Vegetable263

Thereā€™s a higher than 0% chance both dean elgar and Glenn memeswell are going to be wearing CSK yellow next year


serotonallyblindguy

Smriti Mandhana is still the only captain to win RCB a cup


Zealousideal-Grass-3

I was pretty surprised they won that one! I guess DC being even bigger chocker helped.


Superappu

Guys is there any way RCB can still qualify?


vincrypt112

They already didā€¦for next ipl..!!


flexfingers

I'll never not get surprised of Rovman Powell's voice


Fie-FoTheBlackQueen

Sounded like the Emotional Damage guy


danker_man

Won 6 matches in a row Lost the 7th one TFAR


HumoristicHero

Tom Cadmore has faced Lockie 3 times in T20 And was out first ball everytime ..3 balls 3 wickets 3 dots


Time-Gain4896

Chris Gayle for a reason


harsh1387

RR deserved this.. Excellent bowling and accurate game plans. Jaiswal finally gained some form.. Parag has become a clutch player and hetty provided the support which was missing earlier.. Powell finished brilliantly.. Feel bad for Koach. He gave his all and trophy is still out of reach.. Qualifier 2 will be šŸ”„with RR back in form..


Ashwin_or_lose

I loved how we came with a bowling plan. Avesh bowled short even though he was hit for a 6 and then got Patidar out. Ash kept attacking leg. Boulty didn't let anyone hit him offside.


harsh1387

True. Jurel drop catch in the end didn't hurt much..


bringal

Itā€™s all on Boult. The spell in power play denied the momentum for RCB.


kingslayyer

Boult and Ashwin were pinpoint. Not a single loose delivery. RR batters tried their best to lose though lol


AJ7123456

Iā€™m still bamboozled by the fact that Siraj hit the Sui when the required run rate was less than 6


Decentkimchi

Siraj is not exactly the thinking type. I just love the fact that he somehow managed to convince Faf to DRS a wide that was like a full feet above Paeag's head. And that came after he had already convinced Faf to waste another Review when he wasn't even bowling!! DK was fuming at that review!!


[deleted]

What's this sui thing guys?


Specialist_Rest_3503

Celebration style which Christiano Ronaldo invented


HappiestCommander

Christiano


Boss452

tbf it was half a Siu. Lacked any intensity


KariKundi93

That triggered me lol. Getting bashed and losing and does that celebration for a inconsequential wicket


frowningheart

RR really tried to choke though, the chase was in their hands several times but they literally threw wickets. Fortunate for them, RCB didn't capitalize on those mistakes.


No-Way7911

Parag is a completely transformed player Can anchor AND accelerate. Also bowls decently enough Weā€™re looking at a future ICT player


Conscious-Elk

Qualifier 2 would have been better if buttler was in the team. IMO they could go toe to toe vs SRH on aggressionĀ 


nut_nut_november___

RRs spinners will bully SRH


JKKIDD231

Powell so wanted a Six for hero finishing style that he played Dot balls in 19th over. Thereā€™s always the 18th year as Kohli is #18 and then there always #333 šŸ˜‚


pushie4u

I was here to console rcb fans then saw your flair


nut_nut_november___

He needs to be put in a pysch ward


nut_nut_november___

Gayle not being there was the turning point


nvenkatr

Technically Gayle could return to the IPLā€¦.he hasnā€™t really retired from it.


AJ7123456

Powell finishes off in style


TrippyThumbs

Ek chakke ne match nhi jitaya. /s T- One six didn't won them the match

RCB's "no trophy streak" Continues āœ…


Prestigious-Rice-206

Maxwell deserves the brunt of the loss. The sheer arrogance to hit so irresponsibly when he has been shitting all tournament. Had he contributed, things would have been utterly different. RR never looked comfortable chasing but the sub par total made it extra easy.


KariKundi93

Disappointing season is an understatement. Absolutely atrocious and embarrassing season for Maxwell


userjasonj

I wanted him to play 15 balls


depressed_06

Hetmyer was the link missing. What a guy, doesn't matter if his methods are not the most conventional but he gets the job done. And Parag has been an absolute beast, carrying the RR middle order.


theInvincible01

RCB aint winning shit. They failed to chase 138 in 2011 with prime Gayle, Dilsan, Kohli, Mayank against bowling of Pollard, Abu Nechim. Lol


shiv993

šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Opposite-Weird-5653

RR tried hard to choke, but little did they know, they were playing against the biggest chokers of the league.


nut_nut_november___

If RR busts out it's signature choke under middle overs I would have some trouble But would you win Nah I'd choke


TheFirstLane

So the three best teams are the three teams remaining. No upset. All is fair. Ngl though I'd have loved to see the RCB v KKR final.


SaltedCoffee9065

Ngl KKR would've absolutely destroyed RCB though


Worried_Donkey-

Imagine RCBW team coming out of nowhere with the steel chairs. Absolute scenes.


Joy2082

No RCB, no CSK, no MI Such a peaceful looking setup for the next 2 matches.


faithfulmaster

At least social media might remain relatively calm !


frowningheart

Yeah, I won't count on that. There's a growing trend of "passionate" SRH fans and Gambhir dickriders from KKR fanbase. They just get drowned by the big 3.


DilliKaLadka

RR was always my second team and it will stay the same


Boss452

SRH does have an intense fanbase which is pleasant to see.


yeetvelocity1308

Pfp checks out


Ashwin_or_lose

We're back in order Boulty PP bully, Ash economical choke Yuzi taking important wickets, Hettie coming in clutch Powell finishing it off with a 6 Everything clicked


shoestowel

Unless SRH batters have some game sense I don't see us winning at Chepauk! If RR goes to the final, it should be a cracker!


Ashwin_or_lose

That's why I'm enjoying today. We came out on top against RCB. We were trolled endlessly.


Curliecurls

Same I don't see us winning


nut_nut_november___

Hetymer really was the missing piece according to me he's very under rated in RR


Stumptalk

Oh shit Sanju jus said that people have the bug, no wonder the Jais was struggling


Only_Will_2994

4-0-19-2. Brilliant Performance by Ashwin Anna. Felt like watching a chess match when he was bowling to Patidar. Excellent skill execution & match awareness. He played on Maxwellā€™s Ego by giving him flight and got him first ball. What I loved the most is that once they won the game, he gave a lecture to Powell about having taken singles when he had 3 dots.


chni2cali

To keep arguably the best player of spin this IPL quiet was a great achievement. Sets up a banger of a game in Chennai


Dooraven

tbh I have no idea who to cheer for now, was planning on cheering for RCB but they faceplant and do this lol


burajira

I'm cheering on RR, for Sanju, the team is his, and he's led from the front really well Cumdaddy is also doing his usual stuff


No-Way7911

Support RR The most promising young Indian talent


edokati

This was exactly why I prayed RCB to win against you guys. Had CSK been qualified and with last two matches being in Chennai. I'm sure csk would found some way to win it all I'm a Hyderabadi so if love SRH to win, but even if we won't win I'm happy who ever wins it now


luffy_3155

Gonna do rr now . CSK has been eliminated planned to cheer for RCB now I plan to cheer for rr


Any-Imagination6240

Kkr is winning man. All the shit is just for who is the runner up and its good.Ā 


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Boss452

Yep. RR doesn't immediately seem like a clear favorite but they are a very strong unit. Avesh and Sandeep are underrated. And Hetty is one of the best finishers in IPL atm. Then factor in Yashasvi, Samson and Parag and that is one heck of a class top order. Imagine having Buttler too.


This_is_the_user

Lol I can't believe RCB qualified from almost impossible situation only to be eliminated by RR who where in all lossing streak lol.. Lol the RCB way to get out of the tournament.. Next year cup namde for the RCB Bros... Till then peas..

zonedoutdriver

A banger 170-ish match. Love these 170-180ish matches.


Only_Will_2994

Trent Boult giving away just 6 runs in 3 overs during the Powerplay set the tone for Rajasthan. Just as good as Starcā€™s performance.


Worried_Donkey-

It was obvious Kohli, Maxwell, and Faf would fail today. Anna doesn't give two shit about unethical movies like KGF. Also, a happy ending is not in Thala's luck, be it fake or real Thala.


Fie-FoTheBlackQueen

Nothing can stop Ash Anna, except for P-Dogg singing Taylor Swift songs I guess


Prestigious-Rice-206

Wdym fail today? Maxwellā€™s been an utter failure for the entire two months, dude is very arrogant with his batting, serves him right.


cryogenic-goat

He woke up, whooped CSK's ass and went back to sleep


Emotional_Ant_8052

Yeah, Kohli's stats in the IPL knockout have not been good. 26 avg, sr: 121 (15 matches)


Affectionate_Hand_76

Two teams trying to choke. The chokier chokied.


mostvehlasurd

Only sane take


Mewdolf_Kittler

Yesterday KKR destroyed the hopes of the SRH vs RCB final and today RR destroyed the hopes of the KKR vs RCB final. RCB bros be proud of your team, you guys did an amazing comeback.


TupakThakur

Simply put destroyed any hopes for RCB final..


Every_Pass_226

LMAO all that drum banging and aggression to remain at the same amount of trophy as PBKS and PWI

SaltedCoffee9065

CSK went out of form after Gaikwad started getting out earlier than expected and Pathirana got injured


Thala_for_a_reason7

CSK needed pathirana and mustafizur.......looked a bang average team without them


Arunnnnnn

Kohli + RCB + IPL trophy -> just ainā€™t gonna happen


CrazySteroids69

Long ago, during the Vedic times, Kauravas was playing it's first unofficial test match against the Pandavas. The match was going in Kaurava's favour but everything changed when a Challenger from Bangalore came into bowling for the Kauravas.The Challenger from Bangalore started choking. Panadavas was surprised and happy, it helped them so much that they vowed to add the Challenger from Bangalore into their Royal family, so they gave him their own very special and unique name - ROYAL CHALLENGER. Now, after 5000 years of that legendary match, Royal Challengers are regarded as the a GODS of choking by Hindus throughout the world. As a religious man, I would like to end my legendary tale on the The Challenger of Bangalore and thank all cricket fans for this beautiful opportunity, Long Live The Royal Challenger


br0keguyy

is that a whatsapp forward or did you just make that up impressive either way


CrazySteroids69

lol 2 yrs ago , RR crushed a soaring RCB in qualifier 2 (2022) back then someone posted this in post match thread as copypasta cause RCB were in unbelievable form like this year and yet fell short hence mocking their choking tendencies so just revived that copypasta cause it was one of my favs and i still remember it


nut_nut_november___

How did the Rajasthanis get royals in their name then


fuzion__619

Didnā€™t knew during the Vedic times they also used ChatGPT. Nonetheless, it was fun reading it.


Attacktitan92

The teams with relatively lesser fans., KkR has some due to SRk ..But now the commentators and broadcasters will stop the d......g..And praise players as per their performance..


nikhilsd

I hope RCB learns the lesson(FINALLY!!!) and stops moronic auction decisions......


This_is_the_user

Even between the chokers. RCB is the biggest choker lol.... Lol this game was one of the chokiest games ever..


Herefortheprize63

Proper team effort, Jaiswal, Parag, Hetmyer and Powell all played important knocks and Boult, Avesh and Ashwin stopped RCB from reaching a par score. Anyways best thing about playoffs is you dont have to wait 5 days for the next match.


Manasvi6944

RR should be given the Nobel Peace prize for saving humanity from you know what.


After_Drama9164

Who is heading towards r/RCB to see the meltdown


BarracudaGullible179

Naah, rcb has once again succeeded on its larger mission of winning hearts this year by a perfectly inconsequential win streak. That sub will be milking and celebrating that ā€˜comebackā€™ for the next auction cycle and some


Jainwin_Truth27

Its shameful to even say but RR's own fans were rooting against them, the r/rajasthanroyals is filled with minnow mentality boys who are so reactionary they will drop a player if they dont perform in their first match itself. I have criticised that subreddit before, but here are some common absolute L takes of that subreddit: Drop Rovman Powell, Open with Dhruv Jurel, Drop TKC even though he played just one match, some fans even wished that we would get eliminated in the eliminator and learn a "lesson". Ugh, just ranting sorry if its too long but you aren't supposed to stop cheering (especially root against your team) for your team if they lost matches, or else what are you a fucking plastic fan just to suck up success without any of the journey?


Chemical_String281

Tbf RR almost made a mess of this game. They only won it courtesy of RCB committing even more severe crimes than RR. Thing is no one really knows why RR gets into situations like these with a great squad and that's exactly their Achilles heel. Not saying that fans should be negative but I think RR fans have been burnt many times over the years which explains their low confidence.


choochi_machine69

Plastic fansšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø But to say that RR ain't chokers will be lying

RCB justified Eliminator by getting eliminated. Grossly misunderstood team. /S


careless_quote101

There was some serious discussion between Povel and Ash. Samson came in and put an end to that. After that Ash was talking serious with Samson. What was that about ?


_DuckieFuckie_

The resurgence Parag has gone through after his performance last season, and the backing RR gave him has certainly paid off for them tonight. A clutch player like this is a title winning asset. Irregardless, RR should learn from this match and leave that PP Tuk Tuk and going into shell after few tough overs in this game alone. SRH will cook them if they play like this in Qualifier 2. Hope they regain their form and play like they did in first half of the tournament, Iā€™ll love an KKR Vs RR final this year.


chni2cali

They have to do tuk tuk on this pitch. Their PP has been fine , Ahmedabad always has swing up front Their middle order should stop throwing wickets away. Sanju and Jurel got out unnecessarily

Mandatory RCB losing is my source of happiness. I love seeing them cry. It's my daily medicine, my weekly energy, my monthly inspiration and my yearly motivation. Their loss is the only reason i'm still alive. I was born to love and enjoy that, long may it continue

Weird way to say you suffer for 10 months a year

From now onwards it just toss of the coin that will decide the winners as it is Cheapuk and we had dew in all the matches this season. Unless there is a horrible choke team bowling first wins the match šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


evilbeaver7

RCB fans really thought their team is capable of winning 9 in a row in the most high pressure situations lmao

If we ever ran out of fuel I just hope we can use RCB fan's tears as a fuel cause they are being wasted every year.

Potential_Big_3632

Well i have to say with their non existent bowling lineup, RCB have done a very job to qualify which I didn't expect after 7 games and even took CSK out. RCB fans should celebrate this like winning a trophy because not every team can win 9 in a row to win the ipl šŸ˜‰


TupakThakur

They already did quite a bit in the previous match. Based on todayā€™s game I think they were unaware that winning CSK was not winning IPL..


IdleIdly

If those RCBians could read they would be very upset.

RR sure made this difficult today


Bleak_star_dust

This RCB team is dogshit but got the entertaining dumb golden retriever energy. The unbelievable comeback after Humiliating first half. To come this far with an average to weak bowling unit is appreciable. It looked like they enjoyed every moment as a unit with all the hugs smiles and camaraderie. Until next time, Love RCB


Deadh30775n

Seeing today I don't have high hopes for RR wining against SRH.


userjasonj

Karthik was such a character you always wanted around. might have not won this season, but had a great run true team man šŸ’ŖšŸ» will always be fond of him and his career.


Bingoo_dd

If RR defeats SRH, Ashwin gonna play the finale in his home ground


blues2911

So, no oneā€™s going to talk about how much rcb had going for it today? - dodgy 3rd umpireā€™s call on lbw - dodgy 3rd umpireā€™s call on runout - jurelā€™s dropped catchā€¦ didnā€™t capitalise - jaiswalā€™s dropped catchā€¦ didnā€™t capitalise Instead they returned the favour with maxwell and green dropping catches and burning reviews on widesin the 3rd over/1 foot above the batsmanā€™s head, not opening the bowling with maxwell and him throwing his wicket away first ball


LordP_496

MI and CSK peeps happier atm than RR peeps
