The intense rivalry between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings in the IPL has escalated to ugly fan wars, drawing criticism from former India opener Robin Uthappa. Despite both teams having massive fan bases and star players like MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, recent matches have seen an increase in intensity and off-field antics. RCB has recently gained the upper hand, winning the last three encounters, including both matches this season. Uthappa expressed disapproval of the mocking and heckling between fans of the two teams, highlighting incidents of unsportsmanlike behavior. He also called out RCB fans for holding up white T-shirts with black stripes to taunt CSK for their past two-year ban, stating that the rivalry has gone beyond the realm of sports. With RCB on the brink of securing a playoff spot and CSK struggling at the bottom of the table, the rivalry between the two teams has reached new heights, causing concern for former players like Uthappa.
