Pre-Match Vibes: “We’re Here for the Plot Armor”
After four games of “Will they? Won’t they?” drama, India and England rolled into the decider like two TikTokers battling for clout. Fans debated if Bumrah’s yorkers > Livingstone’s biceps (spoiler: Bumrah’s resting villain face won). Meanwhile, Rohit’s beard trended harder than #RIPBazball.
Toss Trauma: Rohit Won (Again), Chose to Bat (Shocker!)
Rohit: “We’ll bat. Trust the vibes.”
Buttler: “Cool, we’ll just… idk, cry in the dugout?”
Fans: “Bruh, chasing is dead. Bury it next to Kohli’s 71st century hopes.”
India’s Batting: From “Yasss King” to “Pls Get Therapy”
Powerplay: Rohit and Jaiswal opened like they were racing for a Swiggy order. Rohit’s sixes? Chef’s kiss. Jaiswal’s strike rate? Slower than your ex’s character development. Out for 27, Twitter declared him “Jais-wal? More like Jais-fall.”
SKY’s 5D Chess: Smashed 68 off 30, including a reverse-scoop that broke physics. Memes: “SKY vs Gravity: 1-0.”
Pant’s Chaos Arc: Tried to helicopter Wood, edged to slip. Fans: “Rishabh, bhai, gloves pehen le!”
Tailenders’ Redemption: Jadeja’s 22* off 10 had uncles screaming “MSD who?” India finished at 212/6. “Could’ve been 230 if not for Livingstone’s ‘I bowl now?’ spell.”
England’s Bowling: Wood’s Fire & Curran’s Identity Crisis
- Mark Wood: 150 km/h missiles. Pant’s bat: “Bro, why you mad?”
- Sam Curran’s 1/45: Got dragged harder than “The Idol” reviews.
- Adil Rashid’s Googlies: Broke stumps and hearts. SKY: “Pls uninstall.”
England’s Chase: A Masterclass in Copium
Openers: Buttler and Salt started like they’d snorted espresso beans. Buttler’s 40 off 18 had fans like “Bazball’s back!” Then Bumrah entered chat. Yorker. Stumps. Silence.
Livingstone’s “Main Character” Moment: Smashed 4 sixes off Arshdeep. Memes: “Livi vs Arshdeep: Thor vs Loki in Bengaluru.”
Stokes’ Redemption Arc? Nope. Skied a catch to Jadeja. Fans: “Bro’s washed like last year’s jeans.”
Tailenders: Played like they had a Zoom call with their therapists. All out for 198. “At least they beat the Uber surge pricing?” – Copium FC.
MVP Flex: Bumrah’s Yorker Drip 💦
- 3/18 & a death stare that broke Twitter.
- Vibes: “I’m here to collect stumps and vibes… and I’m all out of vibes.”
- Meme Moment: His “I don’t even care” shrug after dismissing Buttler went viral.
Social Media Roasts: The Real Scoreboard
- Twitter: “Kohli’s form is like my gym membership – starts strong, ghosts by March.”
- Instagram: Edits of SKY’s reverse-scoop with “Mission Impossible” theme. 🕶️
- TikTok: A fan crying, “Why’d we bench Chahal?!” looped to “Hello Darkness.”
Post-Match Presser: Rohit’s “We Vibed” vs Buttler’s “We’ll Bounce Back”
- Rohit: “SKY’s chaos is our brand now.” (Translation: “We’re just as confused as you.”)
- Buttler: “We’ll regroup.” (Translation: “We’ll Google ‘how to play yorkers.’”)
What’s Next?
India clinched the series 3-2, but England’s “We’ll win the IPL for revenge” energy is real. Rumor has it Livingstone’s practicing sixes in the hotel pool. 💀
Final Take:
This match had mid-innings meltdowns, meme-worthy Fails™, and enough sixes to fuel a Netflix doc. Missed it? Catch the highlights – or just stalk Bumrah’s Insta for more “I’m bored of winning” content. 🍿 #T20Chaos #BumrahVsBazball
