New Delhi: Royal Challengers Bangalore has qualified for the playoffs in the ongoing IPL 2022 with Mumbai Indians doing a favour to them as they defeated Delhi Capitals by five wickets at the Wankhede Stadium on May 21. If Delhi Capitals would have defeated Mumbai Indians, the former would have qualified for the playoffs, quashing aside RCB.
However, a 34-run blitz from Tim David, made some major changes for DC, with MI emerging as the winner of the day. It was no surprise that RCB was filled with happiness and excitement about the result and some of the players, including their former skipper, Virat Kohli took to social media to express their elation.
Kolhi first tweeted a plan emoji with Kolkata written next to it which signified that RCB will be playing the playoff in Kolkata.
