0,0,7 - Internet Laugh At 'RCB Bloods' As England Collapse In 1st T20I vs India

RCB Memes- (Source:@ScreenGrab)

The first T20I between India and England is underway at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. India won the toss and opted to field first. It was a brilliant decision and wickets fell like dominos from one end while Jos Buttler is continuing to show his batting prowess. 

Notably, Arshdeep Singh and Varun Chakaravarthy were the stars with the ball as they took two wickets each. While, it was a horror show with the bat for England batters, it was a tougher day to be an RCB fan as none of their recently bought overseas stars could shine with the bat.

The first to disappoint was Phil Salt as the England opener failed to make a mark at Eden Garden, a ground he dominated in IPL 2024 with KKR. Notably, Salt returned to the pavillion for duck. Meanwhile, Liam Livingstone too followed Salt's footsteps and was removed for a duck after a Varun Chakaravarthy magical delivery. 

Meanwhile, Jacob Bethell was the leading run-getter among the RCB stars as he returned after scoring 7 (14). It led to a flurry of memes on social media platforms. Here are some of the reactions.
