A seemingly impossible task, made to look easy. Royal Challengers Bengaluru defied all odds and expectations last night, as the team sealed their sixth win on the trot in a row, to clinch the final playoff spot away from CSK, who they defeated by 27 runs in the Chinnaswamy on Saturday.
Achieving a task of such magnitude calls for celebration as well, and so did the RCB players, who all took to the field in wild jubilation and elation to celebrate their thrilling qualification for the playoffs.
But, as always, the higher the stakes, the higher the scrutiny. And lately, many have taken to the ‘classless’ and ‘prideful’ manner of celebration that the Bengaluru side indulged in after their win against CSK.

But, as a counter, many other users have also raised the question to MS Dhoni’s reaction, who is seen promptly walking away before shaking the players’ hands, who were in the middle of the crease.
Others pointed out Dhoni’s reaction as ‘arrogant’, stating that the CSK man could have indulged in some patience had he looked to address his rivals.

This man could walk to the pitch when he was already out just to argue with umpires on a no-ball but can’t walk 50m to shake hands with opposition?? What happened to spirit of cricket??https://t.co/LKa7TPIOIU— Akshay (@aksh__96) May 19, 2024
No matter what the case may be, one thing is for certain. RCB pulled off one of the biggest comebacks in IPL history, after clinching only one win in their first 8 games to securing playoff qualification. And that is surely something that calls for celebration.
