Cricket in 2025 was not just about big centuries, dramatic finishes, or heated rivalries. It was also about laughter. 

Whether it was the Champions Trophy, the Asia Cup, or the Ashes series, the audience quickly converted every surprising incident into a meme.

From funny expressions in the dugout to bizarre on-field incidents and unforgettable press conference quotes, social media stayed busy throughout the year. 

As the 2025 year ends, let’s revisit the top 10 best memes.

1. The Abar Ahmed viral send-off

In the Champions Trophy 2025, the Abrar Ahmed meme came after his animated send-off to Shubman Gill. Gill fell early, and Abrar shook his head to troll him. 

But Virat Kohli put the Pakistan spinner in his place when he took complete control of the chase and finished the game with a dominant century. Fans mocked Abrar for celebrating Gill’s wicket while having no response to Kohli’s masterclass. 

2. Sanjiv Goenka’s painful smile in IPL

The meme around Sanjiv Goenka went viral because cameras caught his calm, almost amused reaction right after Rishabh Pant got out cheaply again. 

With Pant carrying a massive ₹27-crore price tag and struggling for runs, fans read Goenka’s subtle smile as silent disbelief or irony. Social media exaggerated that moment, turning it into jokes about pressure, expectations, and big-money buys. 

3. Axar Patel’s nonchalant reaction to defeat in IPL 2025

This meme came from Axar Patel’s witty post-match reply when asked where the Delhi Capitals lost the game. Instead of a long explanation, he cheekily said, “Mumbai ke paas chala gaya,” implying the match simply drifted MI’s way. 

Not only that, but when the presenter said that Axar Patel looked disappointed after the win, the skipper laughed instead of posing a grin. His nonchalant reaction in dire times left fans in splits.

4. Ishan Kishan joining SRH’s ruthless batting lineup

The “Kaay re mandali” meme around Ishan Kishan exploded after his maiden IPL century because it flipped the narrative around him. 

The Marathi line, often used sarcastically to mean “So what now?” or “What do you say now?”, was aimed at critics who had written him off after setbacks with MI and the BCCI. 

In the meme, Kishan joined the group of explosive batters of SRH, featuring Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen.

 5. STUPID…STUPID…STUPID

The line in itself is self-explanatory. This meme became viral after Sunil Gavaskar’s angry on-air reaction to Rishabh Pant’s dismissal during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. 

His no-nonsense comment was viral instantly, turning into a catchphrase that fans would use to poke fun at bad choices. In IPL 2025, Gavaskar jokingly reused the line on live TV while talking about LSG’s batting.

6. Shubman Gill’s fiery sledging that turned into a comedy show

During India’s tour of England, captain Shubman Gill confronted Zak Crawley over alleged time-wasting in the third Test. Gill lost his cool and said, “Grow some b****”. More than the outburst, his animated actions went instantly viral, turning a fiery moment into a meme. 

7. Ben Stokes’ humiliating incomplete handshake

The “handshake” meme exploded because it flipped the usual sportsmanship script on its head. Ben Stokes offered a handshake to Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar to end the Manchester Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy as it was headed towards a draw. 

However, Indians refused, as they wanted to achieve the milestone of a century. Stokes’ incomplete handshake meme instantly became viral as many mocked him for being a sore loser over his outburst.

8. ‘Trophy chor’ Mohsin Naqvi

The “Trophy Chor” meme erupted because Mohsin Naqvi was seen leaving the stadium with the Asia Cup trophy after India refused to accept it from him. What should have been a routine presentation turned into a farce, and the visuals gave netizens instant meme fuel. 

Fans sarcastically labelled him a “thief”, sharing edited images and wanted posters to mock the absurdity of a champion team winning without lifting the trophy.

9. India’s invisible trophy celebration

The “Invisible Trophy” meme went viral after India refused the Asia Cup 2025 trophy from ACC President Mohsin Naqvi, opting instead for an imaginary lift. 

Fans and social media users immediately capitalised on the moment, joking about India celebrating without the actual trophy. Even in the dressing room, Indian players posed with an imaginary trophy and trolled Naqvi for his unprofessional conduct.

10. The Stuart Broad headshake in the Ashes

The viral Stuart Broad meme came right after the batting collapse of England in the Perth Test of the Ashes 2025-26. The body language depicted by Broad, where he closed his eyes, rubbed his facial features anxiously, and turned his head away from the camera, embodied the shock and anxiety of witnessing such a collapse when Joe Root got out. 

In no time, people made it a relatable meme for shock, frustration, and helplessness. Later, Broad explained that it was the most natural reaction, one "just praying it wasn't actually happening" and that's what makes this meme both funny and real.
