The CSK v RCB derby is one of the storied IPL rivalries.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad made the internet chuckle with his brutal jibe at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) during an INFYusion event hosted by Infosys in Bengaluru.
Gaikwad had an uneasy moment when the microphone he was handed stopped working. When the presenter mentioned it, Gaikwad quipped: “RCB wala hoga (Must be an RCB fan)”.
Gaikwad's wit charmed CSK fans but irritated RCB fans. RCB and CSK have a long-standing rivalry, known as the Southern Derby, which has resulted in high-voltage matches.
When RCB knocked CSK out of the IPL Playoffs, fans of the two franchises became furious against each other. Since then, there has been plenty of ill blood between RCB and CSK fans, at least on social media.
