"Virat Kohli near PBKS dug out after every wicket"- Top 10 funny memes as RCB bundle out PBKS for 101 in Qualifier 1

The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur played host to the IPL 2025 Qualifier 1 between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and opted to chase in the contest on Thursday.

Left-arm pacer Yash Dayal provided an early breakthrough to the Royal Challengers by dismissing Priyansh Arya (7) in the second over. PBKS's batting line-up collapsed like a pack of cards after the first wicket. The batters kept trying to play aggressively and perished continuously, leaving their side in a dire situation in a crucial game.

Only Prabhsimran Singh (18), Marcus Stoinis (26), and Azmatullah Omarzai (18) scored in double digits for the Kings. They could only get to 101 runs before losing all their wickets in 14.1 overs. Josh Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma picked up three wickets apiece, while Yash Dayal ended up with two scalps for RCB with the ball.

Fans enjoyed the one-sided first innings of the qualifier match between PBKS and RCB. They expressed their reactions by posting hilarious memes on X (formerly Twitter). Here are some of the best memes:
