On Sunday, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) trounced Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 112 runs, upending the IPL 2023 standings. After the victory, their net run rate went from a risky -0.344 to a much safer 0.166, going from paradise to hellish. With 12 points right now, they are now ranked fifth overall and have a better chance of making the playoffs than the other three clubs, who also have the same number of points.

RCB's powerplay numbers with the ball stand out this year, even though Faf du Plessis has spearheaded their offensive effort with the bat and has scored the most runs in the league thus far. They lead all teams in that period in terms of average (18.46), wicket total (30), and joint-best economy rate (7.41). Mohammed Siraj has demonstrated leadership in bowling.

RCB need to beat SRH to stay alive in the qualification race

RCB will play their fifth straight away game as they now take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. This will be the first meeting between the two clubs this year, as SRH has already been eliminated from the playoff competition. Heinrich Klaasen has been a bright spot for SRH despite the inconsistent performances of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mayank Markande. With 326 runs in nine innings and a strike rate of more than 170, he is their highest scorer.

SRH may be able to move out of the last position in the standings if they defeat RCB. A loss in this game, which is nearly a must-win for RCB, would be disastrous because it may push them back behind the Royals, whom they had crushed to move up the standings and into sixth place.

As a result, some RCB supporters made an effort to provide luck to their team in a special way. They held a "victory havan" in the hopes of getting their club into the playoffs. The humorous video has already gained popularity online, and many people have commented on it.
