IPL 2018: Karnataka boys of KKR team up to troll RCB

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) were knocked out of the tournament after losing to the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Jaipur on Saturday. The tagline of ‘E Saala Cup Namde’ (This year Cup is ours) has been put to rest by their fans now who were extremely confident of winning the IPL much like their skipper Virat Kohli before the start of the season. However, the RCB fans are hurting more as the players who were released by the franchise have done extremely well for other teams.

On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) qualified for the playoffs with a terrific performance against the table-toppers. Interestingly, the Karnataka players played a crucial role in their victory last night with Prasidh Krishna taking 4 wickets and Robin Uthappa guiding the chase. However, they both have now come together and urged the Bangalore fans to support Kolkata eventually trolling RCB with their tagline again.

E Saala Cup Namde

The Men in Purple and Gold were delighted after the win as they had qualified for the knockout stages once again. After the game, Robin Uthappa took a candid interview of the youngster Prasidh whose discipline bowling at the death restricted the Sunrisers to a below-par total. After analysing the team’s performance, both pointed out that Bangalore was no more in the race for playoffs and urged their fans to support KKR.

They also indirectly trolled RCB by repeating the tagline ‘E Saala Cup Namde’ for their team as both the cricketers were confident of winning the title this year. This is not the first time when the players of Karnataka have taken a dig on the Virat Kohli led franchise. Earlier, when Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) were on a winning spree, the likes of Karun Nair and KL Rahul had also trolled them.
