The IPL 2023 points table is escalating as teams are looking to clinch the playoff berth and the afternoon game on Sunday, which was played between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, witnessed the third-lowest inning total in the IPL history as the home team were bowled out for just 59 runs. While celebrating the win in the dressing room, RCB star Virat Kohli gave a bold reaction to RR's disappointing loss in the dressing room.
Delhi Capitals become the first team to be eliminated from the playoff contention this season and four teams, RCB, RR, KKR, and PBKS manage the same points as RCB and KKR won their respective games against RR and CSK on Sunday.
After winning the game with a big margin, the RCB squad was on cloud nine and celebrated in the dressing room with humourous reactions and comments in a viral video posted by RCB on Twitter. RCB captioned the video, "Dressing Room Reactions RR v RCB. A near-perfect game, 2 points in the bag, positive NRR - that sums up the satisfying victory in Jaipur. Parnell, Siraj, Maxwell, Bracewell, and Anuj take us through the events that transpired and the road ahead." In the video, Virat appeared to mock RR and said, "If I had bowled, they would have been all out for 40."

Batting first, RCB put 171 runs on the board as skipper Faf du Plessis and all-rounder Glenn Maxwell scored half-centuries each while Adam Zampa and KM Asif picked two wickets each for the Royals. In the chase, RR opener and in-form batter, Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed on the second delivery and the wickets kept falling since then as Rajasthan managed to bat only 10.3 overs.
RCB bowlers created havoc in RR's inning as Wayne Parnell picked three wickets for 10 runs in his three overs followed by Karn Sharma, who took two wickets in just nine deliveries, and Michael Bracewell (2-off-16 in three overs).
Meanwhile, RCB will next face SRH at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday followed by their home game against defending champions GT on Sunday while RR will travel to the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh to face PBKS on Friday in their last league match.
