Ever since the Indian Premier League (IPL) scheduled was announced, there was huge anticipation about the season opener. The defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) facing off the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is one of the most celebrated rivalries despite the fact that the Men in Yellow have reigned supreme most of the times. The day arrived when MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli clashed and it all turned out to be a damp squib in the end at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
The hosts won the toss and opted to field first. Dhoni had read the pitch perfectly as he picked only three overseas players in his playing XI. The action began with Deepak Chahar and Harbhajan Singh sharing the new ball. The latter drew first blood by picking the prized scalp of Virat Kohli after which Moeen Ali’s tame dismissal followed. There was hope from AB de Villiers then. But even he played found the fielder perfectly in the deep in the powerplay.

Within no time, the visitors found themselves in trouble 45/5 and the lower order also fell like nine pins. At the other end, Parthiv Patel could only helplessly watch his teammates walk back to the dugout. He applied himself well but a constant fall of wickets led to him playing conservatively. He scored 29 and was the last to get dismissed. Parthiv was also the only batsman to cross the 10-run mark.

Setting the target of 71 runs Bangalore got all out on the 18th over where as CSK won the match by 7 wickets. This instigated the meme creators and cricket fans of the Tamilnadu capital to come up with creative and funniest trolls and tweets on RCB. Check out some of the selected here :

Who allowed RCB to play IPL? They can’t even be part of Lilliput Cricket League specially with a Lilliputian opening its innings #IPL2019
