Soon after confirming their playoff spot, Rajasthan picked up an old Punjab Kings tweet that had read, “Sorry bhai, aaj nahi!” — a post PBKS had used earlier in the season to troll RR after the Royals lost to Delhi Capitals on May 1.
This time, Rajasthan flipped the script.
RR replied to the old tweet with the famous viral meme featuring Arjun Kapoor standing stranded outside a door while the rest of the guests walk into a party. The meme was used to mock Punjab’s elimination, effectively portraying PBKS as the team left outside while Rajasthan entered the IPL playoffs.
The post instantly went viral across social media, with fans praising Rajasthan for the perfectly timed clap back.
Earlier in the season, after defeating Punjab in a league-stage clash, Rajasthan had mocked the Shreyas Iyer-led side by quoting Salman Khan’s famous viral 2014 post on X, formerly Twitter, where the Bollywood superstar had jokingly asked: “Zinta’s team won kya?”
