The fans of Royal Challengers Bangalore have decided to target Dan Christian, an Australian allrounder, for his poor performance in Tuesday\u2019s match, which lead to their team\u2019s defeat at the hands of KKR.<\/p>\n
After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, RCB failed to deliver with the bat. Their captain Virat Kohli, who opened the inning with Padikkal remained the highest run-scorer for his team with just 39 to his name. The rest of the team seem to be struggling on the slow track and just couldn\u2019t keep up the run rate. After a sudden collapse of the middle order, the lower order batters like Christian and Harshal Patel were left with the task of taking their team to a respectable total. However, they failed miserably in doing that. As a result, RCB could only score 138 runs in their 20 overs. KKR\u2019s batsman chased down the total in a relatively easy fashion and marched past the Bangalore boys, to meet Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 2.<\/p>\n
RCB fans couldn\u2019t contain their anger and frustration over another trophyless season. And they decided to vent it on the different social media platforms. One such incident was posted by Dan Christian on his Instagram account. He shared a story, asking people to visit his partner Jorgia and see the carnage of abuses hurled on her account by RCB fans. He further wrote, \u201cI didn\u2019t have a great game tonight, but that\u2019s a sport. Please leave her out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
