In yesterday's (23.04.2022) match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Bangalore lost badly and the fans were in a lot of pain.

'RCB' caught in Hyderabad bowling

Du Plessis, Kohli and Anuj Rawat were out in the over thrown by Marco Jansen. Bangalore, who lost 3 wickets for 8 runs, have not recovered since. Maxwell and Prabhudessai scored 12 and 15, respectively, while no other batsman crossed the single-digit mark.

In 16.1 overs, Bangalore were all out for just 68 runs. It was also the team's second lowest score in the IPL series. Following on, Hyderabad chased down the target, losing just one wicket and reaching the target in 8 overs.

With this win, Hyderabad team advanced to the second position in the points table. Bangalore, on the other hand, have won five of their last eight matches and are in fourth place. Fans have been referring to the team's defeat by connecting with April 23rd.

What's on April 23?

In the match against Pune Warriors on April 23, 2013, RCB scored 263 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. Universal boss Chris Gayle was the top scorer with 175 runs. This is the highest score of a team in the entire IPL series.

Golden Duck Kohli

Only then did April 23 become RCB Team's Unlucky Day. On April 23, 2017, against Kolkata, RCB were bowled out for 49 in 132 overs. This is the lowest score of a team in the IPL series. In this match, Kohli was dismissed in the first ball itself - duck out.

Similarly, in yesterday's match against Hyderabad, on April 23, the Bangalore team recorded their second lowest score in the IPL series. Kohli returned to the pavilion after getting dismissed by the first ball. Earlier, in the match against Lucknow, Kohli disappointed all his duck out!

As a result, fans suggest the team not to play on April 23 in the upcoming IPL series. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that memes about April 23 and the Bangalore team are also being shared a lot.
