IPL 2024: 'Change everything from coaches...,' Herschelle Gibbs ROASTS RCB after another disappointing season

Former South Africa batter Herschelle Gibbs brutally roasted Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for another disappointing Indian Premier League (IPL) season. RCB have never won a trophy in the IPL and this time too, they just have two wins in nine games played so far.

Gibbs, in a post on social media platform X, pointed how RCB changes everything every season but fails to address the most important aspect.

"RCB change everything from coaches to players every other season with no success instead of changing the most important thing and that’s the nature of their wicket " wrote Herschelle Gibbs.

The comments came after RCB registered their only second win of the season, snapping their six-game losing streak with a 35-run win against SunRisers Hyderabad on April 25. The game, however, was played in Hyderabad.

RCB lost three of the four games played at the M Chinnaswamy stadium. With short boundaries and placid wicket, Chinnaswamy is considered a batting paradise. It is here only that SRH pummeled them on April 15 for 287/4 in 20 overs - the highest ever score in league history.

In reply, RCB too posted highest ever score while chasing - 262/7 - but still lost the game by 25 runs. In rest of the three matches in Bengaluru, RCB lost by 28 runs against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), lost by seven wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), but beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) by four wickets.

For RCB, only Virat Kohli has been a saving grace this season alongside veteran wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik. Kohli leads the run chart with 430 runs to his name in nine matches at an average of 61 and a strike rate of 145. Karthik, on the other hand, has 262 runs to his name in nine games, third only behind Kohli and Faf du Plessis (264).
