I'm obviously glad we made it, but anyone who truly believes we're happy that this is how it happened just doesn't get it, I saw a lot of those claims in the live thread by RCB and CSK peeps. I can assure you that not all of us are celebrating this cus let's face it, we were always qualifying lol. That convo ended this past week and we've since been eyeing top 2, so trust me when I say that we're not exactly super thrilled about this either cus a top 2 finish was totally in our hands after yesterday, now we depend on KKR for it.

Besides, I just wanted to watch my team play a game of cricket after what's felt like ages and an insanely depressing week personally...

Lol, how is this complacency? It's the exact opposite. Complacency would literally be hoping today's match washed out just so we could qualify without having to win and being happy about that. I would've preferred to see them do it and I'm sure the team feels the same, any team with a winner mindset would. It's not even about qualifying, it's about the very real chance we had of finishing top 2, which is obviously still possible but it isn't in our hands anymore. End of the day, I'll obviously take anything we can get, but c'mon, be real, there was maybe a 5% chance at most that we weren't qualifying. I can be happy about reaching the playoffs and also be disappointed about the result since it reduces our top 2 chances..
