A seemingly impossible task, made to look easy. Royal Challengers Bengaluru defied all odds and expectations last night, as the team sealed their sixth win on the trot in a row, to clinch the final playoff spot away from CSK, who they defeated by 27 runs in the Chinnaswamy on Saturday.
Achieving a task of such magnitude calls for celebration as well, and so did the RCB players, who all took to the field in wild jubilation and elation to celebrate their thrilling qualification for the playoffs.
But, as always, the higher the stakes, the higher the scrutiny. And lately, many have taken to the ‘classless’ and ‘prideful’ manner of celebration that the Bengaluru side indulged in after their win against CSK.

Fan footage from the Chinnaswamy last night after RCBs victory has surfaced on X, where the home side can be seen storming to the middle of the crease in a fit of jubilation as the losers CSK are seen lining up in order, with talisman MS Dhoni leading the pack, to shake hands with their rivals.
RCB’s manner of celebration and their neglect of MS Dhoni for a handshake post-match was termed ‘classless’ and ‘over the top’ by fans and followers alike on social media, sparking debate around the spirit of the game being tended.

But, as a counter, many other users have also raised the question to MS Dhoni’s reaction, who is seen promptly walking away before shaking the players’ hands, who were in the middle of the crease.
Others pointed out Dhoni’s reaction as ‘arrogant’, stating that the CSK man could have indulged in some patience had he looked to address his rivals.
