Please sell RCB…: Why did the legendary tennis player appeal to BCCI?

Mahesh Bhupathi on RCB: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the strongest teams in IPL. However, in terms of points table and win-loss, RCB team is lagging behind the rest. Bangalore once again lost badly in the 2024 season. Thus, with another defeat against SRH on Monday, RCB has lost 6 consecutive matches.

Due to this poor performance, Bangalore’s wait for the playoffs has become difficult. Despite the presence of stalwarts like Kohli, Karthik Duplessis, Maxwell, RCB’s fortunes have not changed this season. Seeing the poor performance of the RCB team, not only the fans but many former veterans are also disappointed. Veteran tennis player Mahesh Bhupathi has also fiercely targeted the performance of RCB. Not only this, he has also talked about selling the Bengaluru team.

Mahesh Bhupathi also made a special appeal to BCCI by sharing a post on social media X. Bhupathi expressed his anger on social media after the defeat in yesterday’s match, writing, ‘The welfare of the game, IPL, fans and players is now in the interest of BCCI to find a new owner for RCB who is ready to build this franchise. Will Work.’ As big as other teams.

Bad bowling against SRH

Talking about this match against Hyderabad, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 25 runs on the basis of Travis Head’s aggressive century and captain Pat Cummins’ brilliant performance. In addition to Head’s maiden T20 century, Henrik Klass scored a superfast 67 to take Sunrisers Hyderabad to 287 for three, the highest recorded total in the history of the T20 tournament. With this 287 runs, Sunrisers broke the record of 277 runs for three wickets against Mumbai Indians on March 27 in the same season.

On the other hand, RCB also got off to a great start, but the car derailed due to the simultaneous fall of wickets around the 10th over. Ultimately, despite Dinesh Karthik’s explosive innings, it could only score 262 runs for seven wickets and lost the match. On this pitch, Cummins took three wickets for 43 runs. In this IPL match, 549 runs were scored in 40 overs, which is also a record.
