The IPL Is On, So Are the Pyrotechnics and Memes

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

Rishabh Pant’s amazing innings

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.

Praise from the other side

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.

“Incredible knock”

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.

Unstoppable

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.

Meanwhile

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.

Also meanwhile

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.

At the CSK vs RCB match

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.

RCB’s fortunes

Recent performances suggest that the fortunes of the team will perhaps remain true to type.

Twinned fortunes

This tweet speaks about the twinned fortunes of the team skipper and his spouse.

RCB fans

Sometimes the scores are embarrassing.

CSK fans are in a league of their own

They are loyal, dedicated and fiercely devoted to their team.

Will history repeat itself?

People are already predicting RCB history repeating itself. However according to some, it aint over till the fat lady sings.
