HIGHLIGHT
- RCB lost to SRH by 6 wickets in 2020 IPL Eliminator
- RCB and Virat Kohli have not won an IPL title to date
- Kate Cross used MS Dhoni’s viral comment to give her partner Hartley a cheeky response
“Ee sala cup namde?” – Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and their love hate relationship with the Indian Premier League (IPL) has also continued in the 13th edition and when they return for IPL 2021 the same question will be asked again.
In a hotly contested IPL 2020 tie on Friday, Virat Kohli’s RCB drowned again and lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 6 wickets, extending their title drought to 13 long years. A solid RCB batting lineup was first limited to an ordinary total of 131 runs and then Kane Williamson and Jason Holder overcame the threats of Bangalore spinner Yuzvendra Chahal and Adam Zampa to win the match with 2 balls remaining.
The hopes of cricket experts and fans were high this time around and the RCB team was believed to be one of the strongest in the competition. It was believed that the addition of Aaron Finch would give the team extra wings, which has generally relied on the hitting prowess of Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. But the Bangalore-based franchise was never able to win more than 2 matches in a row throughout the entire tournament, in fact going into the tie they had lost 4 matches in a row.
Unsurprisingly, Twitter was full of excitement after RCB’s departure. While some questioned Virat Kohli’s captaincy, others stood firm behind the team and its captain. Among these fans, one was England cricketer Alex Hartley. “Will we ever win a title?” He questioned.
Her teammate Kate Ross came up with the viral ‘definitely not’ comment from Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni to answer the question. The blatant pacemaker reaction has gone viral, and at the time of this writing, it had garnered nearly 5,000 retweets.

In particular, MS Dhoni had said “definitely no” when asked if he would retire from the IPL after his team’s last league game on November 1. “Definitely not” had gone viral and was trending on Twitter for quite some time.
