In the tournament, many rivalries have developed with RCB. When asked about this in an interview, RCB’s famous batsman Virat Kohli stated that the Chennai Super Kings are the club that has played the most hard games against them throughout the years. The 36-year-old cricket player also discussed the Yellow Brigade’s enormous fan base, pointing out that even at away games, the team’s supporters turn out in force. This is a significant declaration, particularly in light of the May 3 RCB-CSK match.
Over the course of the 18-year tournament, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), one of the most fascinating teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL), has played some amazing and intense games with the Men in Red.
The Chennai Super Kings in Bengaluru are, in my opinion, the team with whom we have played the most intense games in the past. Since there are obviously Chennai fans in Chennai—it’s just yellow and there are CSK fans everywhere,” Virat Kohli stated on JioHotstar.
However, as many Chennai supporters travel to Bengaluru, playing against CSK there is a unique experience. Due to their large travel numbers, CSK supporters purchase tickets in advance and occupy a portion of the stadium,” the former RCB captain continued.
I never imagined the IPL would get to this point when it first started: Virat Kohli
In the conversation, Virat Kohli also discussed the league’s expansion and his own development as an 18-year veteran of the competition. The league was highly praised by the two-time World Champion, who also praised the professionalism and competitiveness it fosters.
“We have watched the Indian Premier League (IPL) develop into this incredible spectacle over the course of a lengthy trip. To be honest, I never imagined the IPL would get to this point when it first began. However, after 18 years, you still get the same thrill, if not more, every year, which is a huge testament to the league, its teams, its competitiveness, and its professionalism,” the RCB legend remarked.
