Chennai Super Kings (CSK) captain Ruturaj Gaikwad recently made a playful remark about Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans that quickly became the talk of social media. The comment came during a fan engagement event.
While on stage, Gaikwad's microphone suddenly stopped working. The event host asked, “How can you turn off Ruturaj’s mic?” In a light-hearted moment, Gaikwad jokingly responded, “Might be someone from RCB.” His witty remark had the audience laughing, and the video quickly went viral on social media.
The comment added fuel to the long-standing rivalry between CSK and RCB, especially after RCB eliminated CSK from the IPL 2024 playoffs race. Gaikwad’s playful jab sparked conversations among fans, with some Virat Kohli fans responding online.
