As soon as Yash Dayal delivered the very last ball of the night, the entire M Chinnaswamy stadium erupted in joy, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans were giving a loud cheer for their home team, Virat Kohli with the orange cap running wild— a crazy moment in the history of IPL, especially for the RCB supporters.

The boys in red and black did something which never happened before. With 6 wins in a string, RCB confirmed their playoffs spot of IPL 2024. The last team to get outclassed against an unstoppable looking RCB was their arch rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
