For Royal Challengers Bangalore fans, hope springs eternal. Fifteen Indian Premier League (IPL) seasons have come and gone, but they believe that the barren run will come to an end next year, with the slogan “ee sala cup namde” (This time the cup is ours).
On Friday too, expectations were high when RCB entered the Qualifier 2 at Ahmedabad, but Rajasthan Royals shut the side out of the tournament with a comprehensive seven-wicket victory. With this, RCB’s long wait for a maiden IPL trophy continues.
“Some things never change, like the love and support we have for you. It was a memorable season, lots of ups and downs but we stuck together. Thanks for all the entertainment. Hope we can carry the good spirit next year and some players can find their lost form. We love you,” Agni, a fan, tweeted.
