Ever since Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) revealed their slogan ‘Ee Sala cup namde’ (the cup is ours this year), they have become the eyes of trolls. as everyone knows how they performed. RCB failed to keep their moto with the performance and fans simply trolled them on social media. However, not only players but KL Rahul, the ex-RCB player took a dig at them also in 2018, after he shifted to Kings XI Punjab and they performed pretty well in the IPL. Recently, Yuzvendra Chahal was seen mocking KL Rahul on Instagram live with their famous line and it seemed like the leg-spinner was reminding him of KXIP’s performance.
Unfortunately, despite being performed well in the league stage, Punjab failed to reach the play-off stage in the last two seasons, and KL Rahul’s jibe at RCB somehow backfired. Yuzvendra Chahal, who loves to mock with his teammates, never misses out a chance to have friendly banter with his friends on social media.
