The IPL is on, and as it does this time of the year, every cricket lover is feasting upon their daily dose of cricket. Many of us have picked our sides, laughed at the new Rajasthan Royals uniform and waxed eloquent about the great performances we have seen so far. Here are some IPL memes and reactions so far
He plays for the newly rebranded Delhi Capitals (previously Delhi Daredevils) and Rishabh Pant gave us a paisa vasool performance against the Mumbai Indians. Fans were delighted.
Pant’s innings of 78 off just 27 balls earned praise from Yuvraj Singh of MI as well; in spite of the walloping he gave the bowlers.
According to Yuvraj, Pant was outstanding and his performance shows character. Pant's seven sixes and seven boundaries were instrumental in powering his team to victory.
Pant was unstoppable on the day. The wicketkeeper batsman reached his 50 in just 18 balls and then batted through the innings to reach an unbeaten 78. It was his contribution that helped DC win by 37 runs.
In the same match, Yuvraj Singh 53 off 35 balls was heartening for his fans. For a lot of his fans, the fave team is the one that he plays for. With the 37 year old Singh now a part of his sixth IPL franchise, they have had to change allegiances often, but they don’t mind.
While some were discussing cricket, others were discussing Rajasthan Royal’s new pink jersey. Some had to make stereotypical jokes about the colour choice. Others lauded the fact that the team made the choice based on the positive feedback received when the team donned pink for one match for cancer awareness last year. Besides, pink is the colour of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan.
The team headed by Virat Kohli is famous for its infamous owner, its star players, as well as for not winning a single edition of the IPL.
Recent performances suggest that the fortunes of the team will perhaps remain true to type.
