Zaheer Khan shared his honest views about RCB’s stunning comeback in the IPL 2024 playoff race after the win over DC.
After Royal Challengers Bengaluru, led by Virat Kohli, upset Delhi Capitals on Sunday to stay in the Indian Premier League playoff hunt, captain Faf du Plessis attributed the team’s remarkable comeback to their increased aggressiveness. RCB, who are considered to be regular underachievers in the lucrative competition, had lost seven of their first eight IPL 2024 games. But the Bengaluru heavyweights won their final five games to get to the playoffs, pulling off a spectacular turnaround.
Former Indian bowler Zaheer Khan praised RCB’s incredible comeback in the IPL 2024 and said the Bengaluru team deserved “full marks” for making it into the postseason this year. In the richest T20 league in the world, the 2024 season, no IPL club has won five straight games. After defeating DC by 47 runs yesterday, the Kohli-led team moved up to sixth in the IPL 2024 standings. On the IPL 2024 standings, RCB is two points behind the 2016 champions, Sunrisers Hyderabad.
‘This does not happen without passion’
“They have now won five straight after losing six in a row. You have to recognize that without emotion, this would not have occurred. After so many losses, a club seldom sees its season rebound like way, therefore RCB receives full marks for it. Your expectations should be based on what you can control, and RCB is demonstrating that. They play CSK in their last game, therefore 14 points might go to either or both of those teams. The other results are significant as a result. Their run rate has also increased. It would be a really exciting competition if everything goes in RCB‘s favour till the last game, Zaheer told Jio Cinema.
