By IPL 2025 Memes: Funniest Reactions from RCB vs GT, Match 14 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium
The Indian Premier League is not just about boundaries, wickets, and close finishes — it’s also the ultimate festival of memes. Match 14 of IPL 2025 between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium gave fans more than just cricket. From unexpected collapses to individual brilliance, this match sparked a flurry of laugh-out-loud reactions online. While Gujarat Titans cruised to an eight-wicket win, social media had a field day, producing some of the funniest memes of the season so far.
“Vintage RCB” Makes an Unwanted Comeback
RCB’s journey in the IPL is often compared to a rollercoaster — and not without reason. Despite a promising start to their 2025 campaign, their performance against GT reminded fans of the all-too-familiar heartbreaks. As soon as the collapse began, Twitter and Instagram lit up with memes capturing the classic RCB storyline.
A viral meme showed an RCB fan excitedly declaring, “This year, we’ve got it all figured out,” followed by a second frame showing the same fan watching the scoreboard with despair. Captions like “RCB fans every year: Hope, Hype, Heartbreak” trended across platforms. Some users even recycled iconic crying fan clips, replacing faces with RCB logos and adding hilarious commentary.

Jos Buttler Turns Into a Meme Machine
Jos Buttler was the undisputed MVP of the night. His unbeaten 73 off just 41 balls not only won the match for GT but also won hearts across the internet — especially those who enjoy cricket-themed memes.
One meme showed RCB bowlers chasing Buttler in slow motion, with the caption: “RCB’s attack vs Jos Buttler: Catch me if you can!” Another popular one depicted Buttler as a video game boss on “God Mode,” while RCB’s bowlers were stuck at beginner level.
RCB fans couldn’t help but joke about how their bowlers turned into spectators once Buttler started swinging his bat. A particularly funny meme showed a bewildered Virat Kohli in the dugout, captioned: “When you realize Jos Buttler is playing cricket and chess at the same time — and you’re the pawn.”

Kohli’s Short Stay and the ‘Bat in Air’ Moment
One of the most viral moments of the match was Virat Kohli’s dismissal for just 7 runs. A meme showcasing RCB fans’ reactions before and after his wicket—ranging from excitement to sheer disappointment—gained massive traction. Another trending meme was the bizarre ‘bat in air’ moment from the game, with fans jokingly questioning whether RCB players were auditioning for a magic show.

Kohli’s Short Stay Sparks a Meme Frenzy
RCB’s hope often rides on Virat Kohli, but in this game, the star batter managed only 7 runs before being dismissed. Social media was quick to react, with side-by-side images of hopeful fans cheering Kohli’s entry and the same fans facepalming moments later. One widely shared meme depicted RCB fans celebrating Kohli walking out to bat, followed by a frame of stunned silence.
Then came the bizarre moment of the match — the “bat in air” incident. During a misfield or miscommunication, an RCB player’s bat ended up flying unexpectedly. Within minutes, memes showed up comparing it to Harry Potter casting a spell or a Marvel superhero throwing a weapon. “RCB auditioning for India’s Got Talent with flying bats” became a trend.
RCB Fans: The Meme Heroes We Didn’t Know We Needed
No meme roundup is complete without the eternal optimism of RCB fans. Their passionate support, despite frequent heartbreaks, has turned them into meme legends.
A particularly popular meme featured a man wearing a clown wig and RCB jersey with the text: “Me every season saying: Ee Sala Cup Namde.” Another had a domino effect illustration, starting with “One bad shot” and ending with “Entire team collapses.”
Even neutral fans jumped in, creating memes like: “RCB’s middle order: Built like a house of cards. One touch, and it all crumbles.”
