Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) account on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) disappeared suddenly during the morning hours on Saturday (August 12).
The abrupt deactivation left the fans shocked and they began wondering about the potential reasons behind the move.
RCB's handle was active until last night, and netizens speculated whether it was a deliberate move to revamp the account.
Interestingly, the franchise's account on other platforms like Instagram was active, which suggested that it might be accidental. It was indeed the case as the account on X was restored after some time.
However, social media was abuzz with reactions and memes for the time RCB’s account remained deactivated.
Here are the reactions:
RCB endured a disappointing campaign in the IPL 2023 season, finishing at the sixth position in the points table with 7 wins from 14 matches.
Subsequently, the franchise parted ways with their Director of Cricket Operations, Mike Hesson and head coach, Sanjay Bangar. RCB also named Andy Flower as their new head coach.
