Royal Challengers Bangalore failed to live up to its expectations, losing to Kolkata Knight Riders by nine wickets in IPL 2021's resumption in UAE. As RCB was shot out for 92, a meme fest broke out.
On Monday, Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered a heavy nine-wicket defeat to former champion Kolkata Knight Riders in Match 31 of the Indian Premier League 2021 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Although RCB stays in contention for the playoffs, it could be demoralising for the side.
RCB was shot out for a paltry 92, which happens to be its sixth-lowest in the tournament to date. Following the same, a meme fest broke out on Twitter, with fans reckoning the performance as 'Vintage RCB'. Check a few of the memes and reactions out here:
