‘Ee jeevan, Cup rehnede’ – Fans react as funny video of RCB supporters conducting a ‘victory havan’ goes viral ahead of RCB vs SRH game

The IPL 2023 standings were upended on Sunday as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 112 runs. With the win, their net run rate increased from a dangerous -0.344 to a considerably safer 0.166, heavenly to hellish. They now have 12 points, which puts them fifth overall and gives them the best chance of making the playoffs among the other three clubs with the same number of points.

While Faf du Plessis has led their offensive effort with the bat and has amassed the most runs in the competition thus far, RCB’s powerplay statistics with the ball stand out this year. They have the greatest average (18.46), the most wickets (30) of any team in that phase, and the joint-best economy rate (7.41). Mohammed Siraj has set an example on the bowling front.

RCB desperately need to win against SRH to keep playoff hopes alive

As they now take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, RCB will be playing their fifth straight-away game. Since SRH has already been eliminated from the playoff race, this will be the first encounter between the two teams this year. Even though Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mayank Markande have fluctuated in performance, Heinrich Klaasen has been a bright spot for SRH. He is their leading scorer with 326 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of over 170.

If SRH defeats RCB, they may be able to get closer to leaving last place in the standings. In what is almost a must-win game for RCB, a loss would be devastating since it may cause them to drop behind Royals, who they had smashed to rise up the table and into sixth place.

Therefore, a group of RCB fans tried to drive good luck to their team in their own unique method. They conducted a ‘victory havan’ wishing for a playoff spot for their team. The funny video has already made rounds on the internet, with other fans reacting plentifully.

Here’s the video and the best fan reactions:
