Royal Challengers Bengaluru enters the playoffs with ease.
Saturday night’s match, which was much anticipated by Royal Challengers Bengaluru supporters as an homage to Virat Kohli on his Test retirement, ended in a washout for the Bengaluru team. The ‘no result’ that night resulted in KKR being eliminated even though RCB did not qualify.
However, GT’s decisive win over DC a day later guaranteed that not only they but also Royal Challengers Bengaluru and PBKS would make it to the playoffs.
