The 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been postponed indefinitely as players and members in the bio-bubble started testing positive since the beginning of this week. Few fans were already demanding the cancellation of the IPL 2021 due to the ongoing coronavirus situation. After the IPL suspension, fans are posting hilarious memes on the RCB team 2021.

RCB's dream to win its maiden title

Since the inception of the Indian Premier League, the RCB fans have stuck with the slogan “Ee Sala Cup Namde” which means “This time Cup is ours” since the Royal Challengers Bangalore have never lifted the IPL trophy. The 2021 season looked like a fruitful opportunity for Virat Kohli to win his maiden IPL title. However, after reaching the halfway part of the tournament, the Indian Premier League Governing Council (IPL GC) and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) unanimously decided to postpone IPL 2021 season with immediate effect.
