EARTBREAK season (also called 'summer' by the fans of teams that have already won the IPL) is here.

- Hriday Ranjan

The next two months are going to be filled with hope, anguish, and heartbreak.

In its 18th year, as the IPL turns into an adult — we need to take matters into our own hands.

We have tried buying players, solidifying our bowling attack, and even focusing on bowlers — but to no avail.

Hence, yours truly has listed a few ways through which the Royal Challengers Bengaluru can finally watch Virat Kohli hold the IPL trophy aloft.

Full disclosure — some of these methods might raise eyebrows.

Pundits might call the methods unethical.

But desperate times call for desperate measures.

And who would choose being on top of the FairPlay awards over actually winning the tournament?

And hence — ladies, gentlemen, and friends beyond the binary — here are the unconventional ways that we can finally achieve the dream of 'ee sala cup namde'.

RCB's trump card undoubtedly is Virat Kohli.
