broken title dream again
The RCB team has not won the IPL trophy so far. Du Plessis is the top scorer so far this season. Despite his best efforts, the team failed to make the playoffs. Du Plessis said that I am very disappointed that our season has ended here. To be honest with our performance, we weren’t one of the best teams in the competition.
He said we were lucky to see great performances throughout the season. If you look at 14-15 games as a team or overall, our performance wasn’t enough to qualify for the playoffs. Gujarat Titans hit the target of 198 runs to win with five balls remaining on the basis of Shubman Gill’s century. Earlier, Virat Kohli had also scored a century in the same match.
