Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) led by Virat Kohli were close to secure a spot in the playoffs of the ongoing IPL 2020, but it was Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) that spoiled the party by thrashing them by 5-wicket in the crucial game on Saturday (October 31) in Sharjah.
At the moment, RCB is standing at the second spot in the IPL 2020 points table and now they have to beat Delhi Capitals on Monday (November 2) to secure a place in the playoffs after suffering a disappointing five-wicket loss to SRH in Sharjah.
The 55th game of the IPL 2020 is the final league for both DC and RCB to qualify for the IPL 13 playoffs and captain Kohli took to Twitter to motivate his team ahead of their crucial encounter at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi on Monday as they are aiming to make it to the top four.
Presently, RCB lost the momentum having suffered three back-to-back defeats in the ongoing IPL 2020 while DC has been also in poor form with four straight losses and both teams would like to turn their fortune in Abu Dhabi on Monday.
Taking to Twitter after defeat against SRH, Kohli wrote: “Real fun is in a real challenge. @RCBTweets”
Meanwhile, RCB's official Twitter handle also shared Kohli's post by saying: “When captain says #ChallengeAccepted, let's just sit back and enjoy the show.”
Noteworthy, both DC and RCB have 14 points and Kohli's words hopefully would come a great motivation for his players to fire the spark against the Capitals in Abu Dhabi.
