RCB Knocked Out Of IPL 2024? Discover Their Path to Playoffs

RCB suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders, leaving them at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table with just 2 points from 8 matches and a Net Run Rate of -1.046. This loss dealt a severe blow to RCB’s chances of making it to the playoffs, as their fate in the competition is no longer solely in their control. With 6 games remaining, RCB will need to win all of them to potentially reach 14 points, a figure typically considered necessary for reaching the IPL playoff stage. Although it’s possible to qualify with 14 points, it would require favorable results in other matches as well.

Faf du Plessis, speaking at the post-match presentation, acknowledged the controversy surrounding Virat Kohli’s dismissal and praised the team’s efforts. Despite a strong partnership and a commendable effort in bowling and fielding, RCB’s performance was overshadowed by moments of panic and a game-changing over by Narine. Expressing their desperation for a win, RCB emphasized their commitment and determination, aiming to bring joy to their loyal fanbase.
