A genuine question for all the ipl fans

Why can't you enjoy the game of cricket without degrading the other franchise. I am not saying you to support all the teams like your own just respect them.

Enjoy India ka Tyohaar 🥳🥳#IPL2021

Two teams which will definitely make it through the playoffs of IPL 2021:@mipaltan and @DelhiCapitals.
Don't know which RCB will hit the ground😜.
Big boundaries might exploit CSK's weaknesses once again and especially if english players withdraw from IPL.#IPL2021

Given we have a head-start of 5 wins already, 3 wins from the next 7 games should make us qualify for the playoffs, hopefully we can get our 4th cup💛💛💛💛💛💛💛#IPL2021 https://t.co/lJSPDWkn1c

DC were in first place on the IPL 2021 points table before tournament was suspended in March

Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals currently occupy the pole position in the points table with 12 points. CSK, RCB, and MI filled up the following slots in the Top 4. Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders are squandering at the bottom of the table with 2 and 4 points, respectively.

Rajasthan Royals (5) and Punjab Kings (6) are still fighting for a spot in the top half with six points each in their tally.
