Despite the RCB team winning two matches in the later stage of the tournament, it was not enough to push them over to the playoffs. Chalo, cricket is a game after all, and even though RCB lost this time, they did win hearts with the players’ individual performances. And as SRK said, “Haar kar jeetne wale ko hi baazigar kehte hai,” we would like to believe that the team will come back stronger next year.
