what India Loves

@imkevin149 Hardik will take min 18 cr @RCBTweets can arrange this amount only by releasing players like Dayal 7 cr Jitesh 11 cr or of Virat retires While its easier for @ChennaiIPL to release Kartik Prashant and have 28 cr @KKRiders to release Pathirana or Green @LucknowIPL to release Pant

1. Salt 2. Kohli 3. Padikkal 4. Rajat 5. David 6. Hardik Pandya Ahmm interesting It might also help us to free up extra overseas slot.

@RCBTweets Win tomorrow and playoff is comfirmed But not easy against a resurgent @KKRiders Also team is struggling due to non performers like Romario Suyash playing regularly while Venky Duffy are sitting on bench Make the move @DineshKarthik @rrjjt_01 Romario & Suyash are the weak links

A new city, a new home, and another unforgettable fan moment in Raipur. ❤️🏟️ Jacob Bethell made one lucky fan’s day extra special with an official RCB jersey signed by JB002 himself. 🤩🔥 And guess what? You could be the next lucky fan tomorrow. 👀🙌 #PlayBold #ನಮ್ಮRCB #IPL2026

@Rcb_Xtra @venkateshiyer must play against @KKRiders as he has vast experience of playing Narine Varun in nets plus Raipur wicket needs proper batsman and not sloggers Also this will ensure Duffy plays for Suyash But doubt @RCBTweets will take this Bold decision @DineshKarthik @rrjjt_01

🚨 UPDATE FROM RCB TRAINING 🚨 -NO SALT in training ❌ -R Shepherd didn't bat ❌ rather Just did some fitness drills -Venky Iyer had a long Net ✅ (Shashank Kishore/ESPNcricinfo)

@RcbianOfficial Pathirana playing means Powell misses

Matheesha Pathirana in practice session at Raipur. He is expected to play against RCB.

@RCBTweets @BKTtires He saved the team but won't happen everyday Time to bring @venkateshiyer in the side specially against @KKRiders He knows their bowlers and can be the key tomorrow Also, can't see poor Romario batting vs Narine Varun Venky Duffy for Romario Suyash @DineshKarthik @rrjjt_01

He is just different gravy. 🫡 Our back was against the wall, and he punched back with a knock of 7️⃣3️⃣, which makes Krunal Pandya’s outing our BKT Tyres Elevated Performance of the Match. ❤️ @BKTtires

@gujarat_titans biggest weakness- Dismiss one of the openers early, and they will be left with the last proper batting pair. Take another, you have the game in control. @SunRisers looking set to take 2 points tonight #GTvsSRH #IPL @IPL @JioHotstar

@Rajiv1841 He can end up anywhere @KKRiders can release Green Pathirana @RCBTweets if Virat retires @ChennaiIPL can release Kartik Prashant @PunjabKingsIPL can release Chahal Stoinis @LucknowIPL can release Pant @hardikpandya7

Hardik Pandya is going to play for RCB from the 2028 IPL season as a player. Krunal & Hardik reunion in IPL would be wholesome♥️

@Rajiv1841 Only possible if Virat retires and @RCBTweets have 21 cr spare + 6-7 cr from other releases like Mangesh/Dayal/Rasikh Possible XII Salt Padikkal Venkatesh Patidar Bethell/Jitesh* David Hardik Krunal Bhuvi Hazelwood Dayal/Mangesh/Rasikh Suyash/Overseas Spinner*

@varunx18 Totally agree

RCB Nation, should we call Sikander Raza as replacement of Nuwan Thushara so we can replace him in the XI with Romario and drop Suyash too? Raza can contribute with both bat and ball and Venky or Mangesh can play in place of Suyash.

@imRohit_SN Rasikh is the last man to be questioned in batting department Virat DDP Patidar- all 3 played bad shots and put team under pressure Jitesh played 5 dots in a row Romario scored 4 off 11 David scored 0

What was Rasikh trying with that shot? 😀 Got lucky that Bawa not only misfielded but deflected it just the right amount for them to squeeze two runs.

@varunx18 Only issue is both Swapnil and Krunal are left arm spinners

Bro has more talent and potential than Suyash Sharma but still not getting chances. He can contribute with the bat too, like Krunal Pandya. We need to move on from this nostalgia mindset. One good performance and we start treating a player like a legend for the whole season. What has Suyash Sharma has done this season? He is our main spinner but keeps hiding behind Krunal Pandya, and now from the last 2-3 he’s not even completing his full 4 overs quota and leaking runs every time. Even last season he was below average, but got overhyped because of that semi-final POTM which he clearly robbed from Josh Hazlewood. He is neither a proper wicket taker nor a match winner. The moment pressure comes, he starts shivering like a choker. He shouldn't be there in playing XI, Swapnil is better in every aspect.

@Rajiv1841 4 off 11 shows how bad he is Also Jitesh played 5 dots in a row which leads to pressure later on @RCBTweets @DineshKarthik @rrjjt_01 need to fix this else team will fail in important match @BhuviOfficial won't hit a 6 on the 1st ball every match Its Jitesh Romarios job

Before start of this game, I said that please don't troll Romario Shepherd for tonight's failure, this is completely on RCB's management in Dinesh Karthik, Andy Flower & Rajat Patidar for mindless backing & they almost made RCB lose another game & top 2 hopes, no one expected Bhuvi to save them with six. RCB literally lost the game when Romario out & that is how it should be looked at as far as management's decision making is concerned. I hope, this mindless backing stops here & Romario gets some time away from the game.

@RCBTweets Surely can't have Romario as a finisher after this 4 off 11 balls when Bhuvi ends up scoring 7 off 2 @DineshKarthik @rrjjt_01 @imVkohli Just imagine Venkatesh Duffy in place of Romario Suyash Better 4-6 overs, better batting What else you want?

𝐖

Lucky escape today But if @RCBTweets are serious, then @jiteshsharma_ @suyashs78 #RomarioShepherd shall be dropped Virat Salt Padikkal Patidar Venkatesh David Vihaan Krunal Bhuvi Rasikh Duffy Hazelwood Lot to fix @DineshKarthik @rrjjt_01 @imVkohli

Romario has to be the worst finisher Just drop him @RCBTweets @DineshKarthik @rrjjt_01 @imVkohli

Romario Jitesh Suyah Drop them the next game or day good buy to whatever chance of playoffs is left @DineshKarthik @rrjjt_01 @imVkohli @RCBTweets

What a useless finisher Romario is @RCBTweets should have played @venkateshiyer instead knowing the wicket is tough and Venky is a proper batsman Poor decision or overconfidence...something is taking RCB down @rrjjt_01 @imVkohli @DineshKarthik

10 an over 2 overs of Bumrah left Peak @RCBTweets equals struggling @ChennaiIPL on points What a shame Playing liabilities like @jiteshsharma_ @suyashs78 has lead to this @DineshKarthik @rrjjt_01 @imVkohli

5 dot balls in a row by @jiteshsharma_ 2 overs for 21 runs & a drop catch of Tilak by @suyashs78 @RCBTweets better drop them both and play @venkateshiyer & @magicalman_swap instead @IPL @DineshKarthik @rrjjt_01

@Astrocalf1111 Stop predicting now RCB lost to LSG Kohli gone for duck against MI RCB losing to MI How many more wrongs?

Bhuvi 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #RCBvMI #IPL
