IPL 2024: Janhvi Kapoor and Orry supported Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) during the eliminator match. RCB suffered a loss against the Rajasthan Royals.
Actor Janhvi Kapoor and influencer Orry were among the celebrities that attended Thursday’s Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) eliminator round of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), which saw Bengaluru eliminated from the tournament.
Rajasthan halted Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s roller coaster IPL campaign with a four-wicket victory.
Janhvi Kapoor, 27, showed her support for RCB by cheering and waving throughout the match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Janhvi Kapoor’s reaction to RCB star Virat Kohli’s dismissal of Rajasthan Royals’ Dhruv Jurel sparked widespread interest on the internet.

Virat Kohli made it 112-4 with a brilliant throw from deep to run out Rajasthan Royals key player Dhruv Jurel.
At the stands, Kapoor, dressed in a purple blouse with a glittering trophy on the front, and Orry were spotted catching mobile phones thrown at them, possibly for photos. Kapoor will soon appear in the romantic cricket drama “Mr and Mrs Mahi,” in which she will play opposite Rajkummar Rao. The film will enter theaters on May 31.
Bengaluru batters failed to convert promising beginnings into a daunting total, with Kohli scoring 33 from 24 balls in a subpar score of 172-8 after Rajasthan won the toss and chose to field.
As RCB faced elimination from the IPL 2024, the internet was swamped with remarks from fans and supporters of opposing clubs, particularly the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). A meme-fest ensued on X (previously Twitter), with fans sharing their favourite memes and jokes about Bengaluru never winning the IPL.
On Thursday morning, RCB tweeted clips from the dressing room, detailing how Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Dinesh Karthik conveyed their emotions after the crushing defeat and thanked fans for their support.
“To be honest, our performance in the first half of the season was far from ideal.”We started playing for our own self-respect, and the confidence returned,” Kohli said in a video posted on RCB’s social media.
“The way we turned things around and qualified was truly special, something that I’ll always, always cherish and remember because it took a lot of character and heart from each member of the team.”
