CSK and RCB’s rivalry has always been fierce, and it was heightened even further this year when RCB eliminated CSK from the IPL 2024 playoffs race.
The intense IPL rivalry between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore has produced numerous memorable moments, and Gaikwad’s sarcastic jibe at the event has just added to that history. Gaikwad, known for his cool manner on the field, showed his humorous side when confronted with the technical hiccup.
CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad’s jibe at RCB franchise and fans
As the announcer cordially welcomed Ruturaj Gaikwad to the platform amid loud cheering, the CSK captain attempted to speak, but the microphone failed to operate.
Making the most of the situation, the Indian batter responded lightheartedly to the anchor’s question about the sound engineer during the fan engagement event, leaving the Bengaluru audience screaming with amusement.
Jokingly addressing the sound engineer, the anchor said, “How can you turn off Ruturaj’s mic?” Well, Gaikwad was quick to steal the show with his wit as the Maharashtra skipper quipped, “Might be someone from RCB.”
Gaikwad’s lighthearted response caused the audience at the occasion to giggle.
