RCB Trolled Mercilessly as Phil Salt, Livingstone, and Jacob Bethell Flop in IND vs ENG 1st T20I

Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell are part of RCB in IPL 2025.

The cricketing world witnessed a dismal performance from Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) highly-valued overseas recruits—Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone, and Jacob Bethell—in the first T20I between India and England at Eden Gardens. The trio collectively scored just 7 runs, leaving fans disappointed and social media buzzing with jokes, memes, and sarcastic comments.

Fans Troll RCB’s Big-Money Stars

RCB had invested heavily in these players during the IPL 2025 auction, but their poor show in this match became the perfect fodder for internet humor. While Phil Salt, bought for a whopping ₹11.50 crore, and Liam Livingstone, signed for ₹8.75 crore, both went out for ducks, Jacob Bethell managed just 7 runs off 14 balls before being dismissed. Fans were quick to call out the trio’s lackluster display.
