Aamir Khan’s iconic words: ‘Medal toh medal hove hai, chhora laave k chhori’ echoed throughout the cricketing world as Smriti Mandhana and her team accomplished what Royal Challengers Bangalore fans had been longing for over 16 years – securing the IPL TROPHY! Despite RCB’s enduring struggle in the IPL, it was the Women’s team that emerged triumphant in only their second season of the WPL, delivering an electrifying victory.

Celebrating the power of women, RCB fans were left in awe as they witnessed female athletes achieve what the men had long anticipated. This victory ignited a playful exchange of banter aimed at the RCB Men’s team and their star, Virat Kohli, with a flood of witty memes and jokes. While the jests were in good spirits and never intending to undermine women’s capabilities, the sheer unpredictability of the win provided fodder for teasing the men, suggesting they could take a cue or two from these Goddesses.
Kohli also took to Instagram, after video calling the RCB skipper, he shared a noteworthy tribute to Bangalore’s ‘superwomen’.
Kohli’s post and interaction quickly became social media sensations, drawing messages from other RCB superstars like Glenn Maxwell and cricketing legend Chris Gayle, who were also full of praise for the women’s side of the Bangalore-based franchise.
