Despite a rocky start in the IPL 2024 season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) managed to turn the tables and secure a spot in the playoffs. Their most crucial victory came against the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and it was accompanied by a powerful message from RCB icon Virat Kohli.
RCB faced doubts after losing seven of their first eight matches in the season. However, they silenced their critics by winning their next six games. The pivotal moment occurred on Saturday night when they defeated CSK, securing their place in the playoffs.

Following the epic win, a video of Virat Kohli surfaced, where he shared an inspiring perspective: “There is a one percent chance, and sometimes that chance is good enough. But what matters is what you think about that one percent. Are you willing to give absolutely everything that you have to make that one into 10 and then grow that 10 into 30? Eventually, something magical might come out of it.”
The crucial match against CSK and Virat Koohli’s playoff picture
At the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, RCB posted an impressive total of 218 for 5. Skipper Faf du Plessis led the charge with a 39-ball 54 on a challenging pitch. CSK, in pursuit of victory, fought hard but fell short, managing 191 for 7. RCB’s net run rate allowed them to leapfrog Chennai, securing the fourth spot in the playoffs.
With Kolkata Knight Riders, Rajasthan Royals, and Sunrisers Hyderabad already booking their playoff spots, RCB’s remarkable turnaround ensures they join the elite group. Kohli’s “one percent chance” theory resonates not only in cricket but also as a powerful life lesson: seize every opportunity, no matter how slim, and give it your all.
RCB’s epic win against CSK exemplifies the magic that can emerge from relentless effort, even when the odds seem stacked against you. As fans celebrate this remarkable turnaround, Kohli’s words serve as a reminder that sometimes, that one percent chance is all you need to create something extraordinary.
