Delhi Capitals blew off Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last match on May 6, Saturday, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Coming to bat first, the visiting team pulled up a score of 181 on the board. Chasing the target, the hosts majorly relied on Phil Salt’s 45-ball 87 knock and crossed the boundary line with 20 balls to spare. With the combination of eight 4s and six 6s, Phil helped his team secure their fourth win of the season and move out from the bottom spot. Where the RCB team wasn’t expecting this loss against the DC squad, fans took it to social media and took a dig at RCB after their defeat.
Royal Challengers Bangalore’s defeat sparked a meme fest on Twitter where the fans shared some hilarious memes targeting the Faf-led squad highlighting the much controversial Virat Kohli-Gautam Gambhir altercation that took place during RCB’s last match against Lucknow Super Giants on May 1.
Here are some of the best memes shared by users on Twitter:
Notably, Phil Salt from Delhi’s side came up with an outrageous display of batting skills as he played a critical 87-run knock.

On their rival’s side, Virat Kohli scored another half century as he knocked 55 runs off 56 deliveries in his homecoming match. In addition to this, Mahipal Lomror came up with his career-best inning with 55* off 29. Delhi Capitals, in their next clash, will lock horns with MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings on May 10.
