"Not the first time team of Virat Kohli in trouble because of quick single"- Top 10 funny memes as DC restrict RCB to 163/7 in IPL 2025

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and the Delhi Capitals (DC) are competing in match 24 of IPL 2025 on Thursday (April 10) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. DC skipper Axar Patel won the toss and opted to bowl first, considering dew might ease batting conditions in the second innings.

RCB opener Philip Salt smashed three sixes and four boundaries en route to 37 to give the hosts a blazing start. Unfortunately, he got run out on the fifth delivery of the fourth over with 61 runs on the board. The scoring rate slowed down after the wicket, which also resulted in the dismissals of Virat Kohli (22) and Devdutt Padikkal, leaving RCB at 74/3 in seven overs.

Captain Rajat Patidar tried to stabilize things, but wickets kept falling at the other end. However, Patidar perished in the 15th over, trying to play aggressively after a sedate knock of 25 (23). Tim David played a breezy cameo of 37* (20) at the end to lift RCB to a respectable total of 163 for seven. Leg-spinners Vipraj Nigam and Kuldeep Yadav scalped two wickets apiece for DC.

Fans enjoyed the enthralling action that unfolded during the first innings of Thursday night's IPL 2025 match between RCB and DC. They expressed their reactions by posting hilarious memes on X (formerly Twitter).

"The wicket is good to bat on"- Kuldeep Yadav after 1st innings of RCB vs DC IPL 2025 match

During the mid-innings break, Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav reflected on his bowling performance and said via Cricbuzz:

"It is very important to stick to the length. Obviously when you get a wicket like this, it is important to put the revs on the ball. I was trying to spin it as hard as possible. The wicket is good to bat on. With the dimensions here, you focus on length. Try not to bowl too full. Vipraj (Nigam) bowled in the powerplay."

Yadav continued:

"I spoke to KL (Rahul) bhai and Axar (Patel) bhai. They told me that the ball was holding up a bit. The wicket is a bit sticky too. That was important. I don't think there is any dew. That is a good sign for their bowling unit. 164 is a good score, but looking at the conditions here, it is chaseable."
