Meanwhile, the bowlers of Bengaluru team are continuously showing poor performance. Even in Monday's match, Hyderabad made the biggest score in IPL history against Bengaluru. SRH scored 287 runs at the loss of 3 wickets in 20 overs, in response to which Bengaluru could only score 262 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs.

Bhupathi wrote, “For the sake of the game, IPL and the well-being of the fans and even the players, BCCI needs to sell RCB to a new owner who will take care of making this team a good sports franchise like other teams .” Many users have commented on Bhupathi's post and it is getting a lot of response.

RCB has performed very poorly in the current IPL season.

It is noteworthy that RCB has lost 6 matches in IPL 2024 and now their next stage in the tournament has become more difficult. After consecutive defeats, they are on the verge of early exit from the play-off race. If they want to maintain their challenge, then they will have to win their remaining matches at any cost. RCB's next match will be against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 21 at the Eden Gardens Stadium.
