'Zinta's Team Won Kya?': Salman Khan's old tweet sparks RCB's epic troll after win over Punjab Kings in IPL 2025
When Bollywood and cricket collide, fireworks are guaranteed—and this time, the spark came from an 11-year-old tweet! After defeating the Punjab Kings in style, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) took their celebrations from the pitch straight to Twitter, resurrecting a classic Salman Khan post that perfectly set the stage for some cheeky trolling.
Salman Khan's old tweetBack in 2014, Salman Khan had innocently tweeted, “Zinta’s team won kya?”—a nod to actress and Punjab Kings’ co-owner Preity Zinta. Fast forward to 2025, RCB pounced on the throwback goldmine moments after their win, replying with a mic-drop comeback: "Sorry bhai, not today."
The timing, the tone, and the throwback? Flawless.
RCB Rules the Field (and the Feed)While Twitter was still recovering from the surprise nostalgia attack, RCB fans had more to cheer about. On the ground, the Virat Kohli–Devdutt Padikkal partnership was on full throttle, smashing a 103-run stand that made chasing Punjab’s 157-run total look like a cakewalk.
Kohli’s unbeaten 73 off 54 balls, paired with Padikkal’s fiery 61 off just 35, was a masterclass in pressure-free batting. And before that, RCB’s spin combo of Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma had already put the brakes on Punjab’s batting hopes.
A Dance Duel ResurfacesBut wait, the trolling didn’t end with Salman’s tweet. RCB dropped another bomb—this time, a video of Kohli dancing with the caption:
"Every masterpiece has a copy. Stick to the original. Enjoy."
That not-so-subtle jab was aimed squarely at Punjab Kings, who had earlier tried to mimic Kohli’s dance moves after their win in a previous encounter. This was RCB’s way of saying: imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery—but the original is always one step ahead.
This IPL isn’t just about boundaries and wickets—it’s about memes, nostalgia, and clever callbacks. RCB’s social media game has now become as thrilling as their on-field exploits, turning even forgotten tweets into viral moments.
In a season packed with high-octane action, one thing is clear—whether it’s Virat Kohli leading a chase or Salman Khan’s decade-old question finding a new answer, RCB knows how to keep the crowd entertained.
