RCB fans troll Ambati Rayudu's 45/3 Powerplay prediction as CSK fail to take a single wicket in 6 overs

The clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) always brings high drama ¡ª especially when former cricketers pick sides, with most leaning towards CSK due to their past associations with the franchise. One such name is Ambati Rayudu, a hardcore MS Dhoni supporter who has never shied away from expressing his admiration for the 'Thala'.

During the May 3 clash at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, following the toss where RCB were asked to bat first, the presenters at the JioHotstar studio were asked to predict the Powerplay outcome. With full confidence, Ambati Rayudu predicted RCB would be 45 for 3. When asked if he was sure, he insisted, it will happen. However, after the first six overs, RCB remained wicketless and racked up 71 runs ¡ª leaving fans amused.

It did not take long for RCB fans to flood social media, especially X (formerly known as Twitter) to troll the former Indian cricketer who on numerous occasions has trolled RCB.
