Ahead of the MI vs DC match later tonight, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have interestingly changed the featured image on their official social media handles. RCB have turned their logo from red to blue, with the hope that the Mumbai Indians (MI) defeat the Delhi Capitals (DC).

RCB's hopes of qualifying for the IPL 2022 playoffs hinge entirely on MI defeating DC, as they are currently just two points ahead of the Rishabh Pant-led side, but with a far worse net run rate. As a result, if DC were to beat MI, then they would qualify for the playoffs instead of RCB.

RCB's du Plessis and Kohli hilariously reveal support for MI

Following their stunning eight-wicket win over leaders Gujarat Titans to stay in the hunt for the IPL 2022 playoffs, captain Faf du Plessis and former skipper Virat Kohli could be seen explaining their plans for the next two days. Kohli began by saying, "Trying to put our feet up and chill out for 2 days and support Mumbai. We have 2 more supporters for Mumbai." 

du Plessis then interrupted him by adding, "Not just 2 but I think 25 more supporters." Kohli then added, "You might see us in the stadium as well," with Du Plessis beginning the 'Mumbai, Mumbai' cheer in the background. Whichever of the two teams that qualify will face third-placed Lucknow Super Giants in the eliminator on May 25. Meanwhile, leaders Gujarat Titans will face second-placed Rajasthan Royals in qualifier 1, with the winner booking their place straight in the finals that is set on May 29.
