Did CSK bowler Tushar Deshpande take jibe at RCB after their loss to RR in IPL Eliminator?

Rajasthan Royals ended Royal Challengers Bengaluru's roller-coaster run in the Indian Premier League with a scratchy four-wicket win in the Eliminator on Wednesday.

After their bowlers had done their part well to keep RCB to 172/8, RR batters stuttered in the middle overs to allow RCB back into the contest, which remained in the balance for most of the second half. Still, the 2008 winners eventually got home with an over to spare.

Chasing 173, Rajasthan ended with 174/6 as Rovman Powell (16 not out) provided the finishing touches in a tense finish.

As soon as RCB lost the match, they were trolled heavily for ending another season without the coveted trophy. CSK supporters took to the social media platform 'X' and pounced with their jibes on RCB. Even their bowler Tushar Deshpande posted a picture on his Instagram story trolling the RCB team.

In a now-deleted Instagram story, Tushar Deshpande shared a meme mocking RCB, featuring the "Bangalore Cant" railway station sign. Deshpande captioned it with "CSK fans are built different."
