Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are locking horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing 30th match of the Indian Premier League 2024. Both teams are playing this match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Meanwhile, what was new for the hosts and their fans was that the team management omitted the star batter Glenn Maxwell and star pace spearhead Mohammed Siraj from the playing XI of this match against SRH.
This move from RCB has also attracted a lot of different reactions from the RCB fans; they came up with a lot of reactions over X expressing their thoughts about this move of the team management in the home game against the orange outfits. RCB brought in Lockie Ferguson and Reece Topley to replace Maxwell and Siraj
Speaking of the action of the match, SRH openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are completely in a destructive mode against the hosts. The duo had posted a massive score of 107 runs without any loss for the first wicket in 7.5 overs.
RCB enduring a dismal run of form in IPL 2024
Earlier, the hosts’ skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and decided to bowl first which went against him and his side.
Notably, RCB has been going through a poor run of form in the ongoing IPL 2024 so far; they have lost 5 matches out of the 6 matches they have played; the ongoing match they taking on SRH is very crucial for them to keep themselves in the fight for the playoff stage of the tournament.
However, former RCB skipper and the modern-day batting great, Virat Kohli is the highest run-scorer in the ongoing IPL 2024 despite the poor performance of his team in the tournament.
Here’s how fans reacted to RCB’s move to omit Glenn Maxwell and Mohammed Siraj:
Head = Overperforming
