¡®It¡¯s like Netflix made Chokers Endgame!¡¯: Fans flood social media with memes as RCB and PBKS face off in IPL 2025 final
The IPL 2025 final between RCB and PBKS has not just electrified the Narendra Modi Stadium but also fired up the internet. As both teams eye their first title, fans flood social media with memes, jokes and bold claims ahead of the highly anticipated clash.
The IPL 2025 final promises more than just a trophy ¡ª it offers closure. Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings, two teams long familiar with heartbreak, now face each other in a historic clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Both franchises have previously made it close to the title but never crossed the finish line.
RCB, led this season by Rajat Patidar, are counting on the in-form Virat Kohli and reliable bowler Josh Hazlewood to break their finals jinx after three previous setbacks. PBKS, under the calm captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, return to the finals for the first time since 2014, looking to finally seal the deal.
Memes take over social media hours before final
While players prepared for the big match, fans had already taken over the internet. Social media platforms were flooded with memes and witty comments, reflecting the unique pairing in the final. One user joked, ¡°It¡¯s funny how everyone assumed MI vs RCB final. No one gives a damn about PBKS.¡±
Others joined in with tongue-in-cheek humour. A user quipped, ¡°A team in red will lift the cup¡±, playing on the fact that both teams share the colour. Meanwhile, a tweet from a Durex campaign drew attention, ¡°RCB vs PBKS battling for the trophy, but Durex just scored with the cheekiest play!¡±
From overconfidence to chokers jokes ¡ª It¡¯s all here
With anticipation peaking, fans didn¡¯t hold back. One Twitter user promised, ¡°If RCB wins today, I¡¯ll give ?5000 to everyone who liked and retweeted this tweet.¡± Another added, ¡°Virat Kohli COOKED too hard today!!¡±
