If you seek a lesson in patience, engage in conversation with RCB fans! These steadfast supporters have been eagerly awaiting their team’s triumph in the IPL, a dream that has remained elusive for a whopping 16 years since the inception of the Indian Premier League. Every year, they flood the stadiums with renewed hope, firmly believing that Royal Challengers Bangalore will clinch victory this time around, only to find themselves the subject of running jokes as they witness their star cricketer, Virat Kohli, fall short despite his valiant efforts. It’s a cycle of patience and hope! And this sentiment is precisely what AJIO tapped into with one of their recent advertisements, albeit in a manner that caught everyone off guard.
“Don’t miss out on these deals like my favorite team has been missing out on the trophy for the last 16 years. I know nobody is going to read this because the text is too small to read, but I really wanna see jersey no. 18 [Virat Kohli] lift the trophy this year. Ee Sala Cup Namde!” declared the caption beneath the AJIO All Stars Sale newspaper ad.

In fact, it struck a chord with RCB fans, who resonated deeply with the sentiment expressed but were equally captivated by the unexpected twist.

“Feeling se likhe he (He’s poured his heart out),” exclaimed one on ‘X’. “Bro literally gave an emotional reason for not missing out on the Sale,” came another. The third one joined, “Wow this is awesome.”
Indeed, genuine RCB fans couldn’t resist sharing and engaging with it! It hit the mark.

However, this isn’t the first time ‘Ee Sala Cup Namde’ has garnered attention for humorous reasons. In the 2023 IPL season, a video surfaced of RCB skipper Faf du Plessis making a memorable blunder. In a momentary lapse, he transformed the iconic slogan “Ee Sala Cup Namde” into the comical “Ee Sala Cup Nahi.” This occurred at an event just before their season opener against the Mumbai Indians, where du Plessis and former RCB captain Kohli were seated together. When the South African cricketer was asked about the team’s goals for the season, he inadvertently mispronounced the slogan, eliciting laughter from Kohli and everyone else present.
