When Bollywood and cricket collide, fireworks are guaranteed-and this time, the spark came from a tweet of 11 years! After defeating Punjab Kings in style, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) took their ceremonies directly on Twitter from the pitch, reviving a classic Salman Khan post, which set a fully stage for some cheek trolling.
Salman Khan’s old tweet
Back in 2014, Salman Khan tweeted innocent, “What did Zinta’s team win?”An actress and a node for Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta. Rapid forward to 2025, RCB replied with a mic-drop return at Thruoback Goldmine moments after its win: “Sorry brother, not today.”
Timing, tone and throbac? flawless.
RCB ruins the field (and feed)
While Twitter was still recovering from an attack of amazing apathy, RCB fans had more to be happy. On the ground, Virat Kohli-Dewadatta Padikkal partnership was on full throttle, with a 103-run stand, which was seen as a cakewalk chasing Punjab’s 157-run total look.
Kohli’s unbeaten 73, 54 balls, Padikal’s Fiery 61 was added to just 35 runs, a masterclass in pressure-free batting. And earlier, RCB’s Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma’s spin combo had already put a brake on Punjab’s batting expectations.
A dance duality revival
But wait, trolling did not end with Salman’s tweet. RCB dropped another bomb- this time is dancing with a video caption of Kohli: “Every work has a copy. Stop from the origin. Enjoy.”
Not this, Sukkal Jab was targeted squarely in Punjab Kings, who tried to imitate Kohli’s dance moves after his first victory in the previous encounter. This was RCB’s way to say: copying can be the most honest form of flattery – but the original is always one step ahead.
This IPL is not only about borders and wickets – it is about memes, nostalgia and clever Callback. RCB’s social media game has now become thrilling as their on-field exploits, even changed the tweets forgotten in viral moments.
In a season packed with high-octane action, one thing is clear-he chases Virat Kohli or Salman Khan’s old question is getting a new answer, RCB knows how to entertain the crowd.
