Royal Challengers Bangalore's hopes of reaching the IPL 2022 playoffs rested on Mumbai Indians beating Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. Ahead of the crunch clash, RCB had even changed to their profile pics on social media to support the Mumbai Indians. Stars like Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis publicly backed MI and hoped that Rohit Sharma's side would do them a huge favour. Come Saturday and MI did just that. They got the better of Delhi Capitals to send the latter crashing out of the tournament, paving the path for RCB to reach the playoffs instead.
Following MI's win, crazy celebrations broke out in the RCB camp. All the players and support staff together watched the entire MI vs DC IPL 2022 encounter at their hotel. The likes of Virat Kohli cheered on every wicket that MI took and every boundary that they hit.
The entire video made for a brilliant viewing with RCB sharing it on their social media handles. The joy was clear to see on each and every face in the RCB camp.

MI's win over DC meant that RCB joined Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants in the playoffs.
DC ended fifth in the IPL points table with 14 points, two points behind fourth-placed RCB.
