Now, on the match day, RCB’s middle order batsman Dinesh Karthik came up with a cheeky tweet flexing his relationship with Mumbai team in the past in order to express his support for the team. Along with the memes and social media posts, Dinesh’s tweet is also trending in the micro blogging social media site. It is notable that Karthik had scored 510 runs for Mumbai Indians while representing the team in the year 2013.

It’s all because RCB has finished playing all their group stage matches and ended with 16 points in the table whereas Delhi has 14 points with one match still left to play today. The Pant led team’s net run rate is way higher than the Faf led team.

Mumbai… Mumbai!
That’s how all RCB players and fans would be cheering tonight 💙❤️
