Chahal and Padikkal previously played for RCB and will now play against them for RR.
This match will feature Yuzvendra Chahal and Devdutt Padikkal, two former RCB players going against their ex-franchise. Chahal played more than 100 matches for RCB, while Padikkal got his fame playing for two seasons for the red army.
Therefore, Wasim Jaffer took the opportunity to use his meme knowledge and posted a meme from the Mahabharat serial involving Arjun tearfully battering his teacher Bhism with arrows during the epic war.
".@yuzi_chahal and @devdpd07 playing against RCB tonight. #RRvRCB #IPL2022," tweeted Jaffer.
The fans were left shocked when RCB did not retain Chahal as the leg-spinner was the highest wicket-taker for the franchise. In 113 matches, Chahal picked up 139 wickets for the Bengaluru-based franchise.
RR will be looking to continue their unbeaten run in the tournament having won their first two matches. RCB, on the other hand, will look to add another win in their kitty having won one and losing one match thus far.
