The quest of a maiden IPL title for Royal Challengers Bangalore continued as they were knocked out in the Qualifier 2 by Rajasthan Royals at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Friday. It meant that RCB have now failed to win an IPL trophy in the 15 editions. The major highlight of the tournament was that a change in captaincy from Virat Kohli to Faf du Plessis also did not help them change their fortunes.
RCB qualified to the IPL 2022 playoffs with eight wins and six losses which helped them accumulate 16 points to book the fourth spot ahead of Delhi Capitals who were knocked out of the tournament after their loss to Mumbai Indians in their last league match. The Du Plessis-led side then got the better of Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator to qualify for the IPL 2022 Qualifier 2.

Virat Kohli looked out of touch once again with the bat for RCB as he was sent packing for seven runs. However, captain Faf du Plessis (25), Rajat Patidar (58) and Glenn Maxwell (24), played resilient knocks with RR fast bowlers Prasidh Krishna and Obed McCoy picking up three wickets each to restrict RCB to a chasable total of 157/8. In response, the in-form RR opener Jos Buttler remained unbeaten on 103 off 60 deliveries to guide his side over the line with 11 balls to spare.
The loss saw cricket fans from across the subcontinent mercilessly roast RCB for ending up without a trophy for another season. Some hilarious memes and analogies emerged as RCB continued their trophy drought. “RCB losing the semifinal. I don’t hate Virat Kohli, but i don’t like rcb fans who trolls other teams,” one of the fans tweeted.
