IPL 2025: Funniest Memes from RCB vs CSK Mid-Innings of Match 52

At Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the home team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), is playing the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). In Match 52 of the IPL 2025, CSK captain MS Dhoni chose to bowl first after winning the toss.

Virat Kohli and Jacob Bethell, the RCB openers, made the most of the powerplay to get off to a scorching start. Together, the two scored 97 runs off of just 59 balls after adding 71 runs in the opening six overs. Dewald Brevis’s outstanding running catch eliminated the left-hander, who had scored 55 off 33 balls, first. With 62 runs off 33 deliveries, the Indian veteran carried on his rampage.

Following the dismissal of the openers, the bowlers from CSK recovered control in the middle overs by limiting the number of runs by tightening their lines and lengths. Romario Shepherd saved the game in the final overs when it appeared that RCB was losing ground.

By hitting the milestone in just 14 balls, the West Indian wowed the crowd with a show of power hitting and set a new record for the second-fastest half-century in IPL history. He hit six sixes and four boundaries in his innings. Shepherd scored 32 runs in the penultimate over, which was delivered by Khaleel Ahmed, and another 20 in the final over, which was bowled by Matheesha Pathirana. At a strike rate of 378.57, he finished undefeated at 53* off just 14 balls, leading RCB to a commanding 213 for 5.

To make up for their earlier defeat at Chepauk by RCB, CSK had to chase 214 runs. In the meantime, RCB will try to improve their standing in the standings and earn a vital victory in front of their home crowd.
