Bengaluru cant’: Did CSK pacer Tushar Deshpande really troll RCB following their IPL 2024 exit?-
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player Tushar Deshpande faced backlash after posting and then deleting an Instagram story mocking the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) following their loss in the IPL 2024 Eliminator against Rajasthan Royals (RR). RCB, despite a six-match winning streak, failed to defend a score of 172/8, with RR chasing it down with 174/6. Key performances included Yashasvi Jaiswal’s 45 runs, Rovman Powell’s finishing touches, and impactful innings from Shimron Hetmyer and Riyan Parag. Notable bowling efforts came from Mohammed Siraj, who took two crucial wickets. The match saw dramatic shifts in momentum, but RR emerged victorious, securing a spot in the next playoff round against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Deshpande’s post, featuring a “Bengaluru Cant” railway station image, was seen as a taunt towards RCB’s repeated failures to clinch the IPL title, leading to its removal after negative reactions from fans.
