He has been continuously giving some statement or the other since that defeat. This tweet of Ambati Rayudu went viral like fire on social media ambati rayudu wrote on social media, ‘I feel bad for the fans who have been passionately supporting the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) team for years. If the management and leaders of the RCB franchise team had put the well-being of the team before their personal milestones… RCB would have won many trophies by now. Remember how many great players this franchise team let go, put pressure on your management to bring such players in the team who put the welfare of the team first, a great chapter can be started with the mega auction. My heart truly goes out to all the RCB supporters who have passionately supported the team over the years. If only the management and the leaders had the teams interests ahead of individual milestones .. RCB would have won multiple titles. Just remember how many fantastic players… — ATR (@RayuduAmbati) May 24, 2024 Earlier, Ambati Rayudu said about RCB’s defeat, ‘If you talk about RCB, it shows that you cannot win the trophy just by passion and celebration.

Michael Vaughan strongly criticized RCB, said – no one wins trophies by including big players
The fact is that RCB has not won a single trophy till now – Michael Vaughan Michael Vaughan and RCB. (Image Source: Getty Images/X) Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the most popular teams and fans have been loyal to them since 2008. There have always been big stars in his team. But despite this, RCB has not won a single trophy yet. Under the leadership of Anil Kumble (2009), Daniel Vettori (2011), and Virat Kohli (2016), the team reached the finals thrice, but fell short of the title. Even in IPL 2024, RCB has been disappointed so far. The team has played 6 matches and has won only one match, while it has faced defeat in five matches. Meanwhile, before the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, former English cricketer Michael Vaughan has taken on RCB and criticized the team fiercely. He has not won a single title – Michael Vaughan He said in The Ranveer Show on YouTube with Ranveer Allahabadia that the fact is that RCB has not won a single trophy so far. He said that cricket is a team game. The game is never won by individual performance. “I like the fact that RCB has never won, it proves that team sport is not just about individuals,” Vaughan said on The Ranveer Show. You can buy all the big names and include them in a team, but that does not mean you are going to win and this has been proved in RCB. Michael Vaughan further said, I did not see him doing anything different. I just see them thinking it’s probably wrong but again that’s the perception. They just think because they have big players in this team. Management thinks we’re going to win. This proves to me that even if you have great players, unless you get team ethics, culture and you fully recognize everyone’s role, you will not be able to win titles.
