Cricket Bloopers: IPL 2025 Moments That Made us LOL — Part 2

With the season also coming to an end with an exhilarating final clash, let’s have a look at the second part of the hilarious moments, which took place on the field, leaving the fans in laughter. However, if you haven’t had a look at part 1 of the same, it is recommended to check it out to ensure that you don’t miss out on any blooper that took place this season.

DK Talks, Kohli Fields the Idea Away

One of the funniest IPL 2025 moments, which also ended up being a meme sensation, was between Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik. Two former teammates are now a coach and player duo, with Karthik being the batting coach for the team. In the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, a funny incident took place between them. While fielding at the deep, Virat Kohli was talking with the coaches, Andy Flower and Dinesh Karthik, discussing the issue of a new ball that was impending.

Following these discussions, it was also caught on camera when Karthik was saying something to Kohli, to which he immediately responded with a no with joint hands. Although it is unclear what Dinesh Karthik had said to Kohli at that time, some fans also anticipate that DK wanted Virat Kohli to bowl an over in the game. This video also circulated on the internet and ended up being one of the most vital meme contents for the IPL 2025 season. In the match also, Royal Challengers Bengaluru pulled off some great performances in the last overs to win the home game by 11 runs.

Kohli Gives the DK Seal of Approval

Virat Kohli and Dinesh Karthik have not just been involved in one funny moment only, as we all know, King Kohli remains an active part of the game. When RCB went against SRH in their 13th League stage match of the season, their bowlers were devastated at the Ekana Stadium. With the match being shifted from Chinnaswamy to Ekana Stadium, every game was important for RCB to mark their spot in the top two. However, batting first, SRH scored a mammoth 232 runs in the first innings, setting the stage for a thrilling chase.

Phil Salt and Virat Kohli had an impressive start while chasing down the target, as both batters looked well set in the powerplay. With their impressive partnership by the first CEAT Strategic Timeout, both RCB coaches, Andy Flower and Dinesh Karthik, came to the ground to instruct them about the further game plan. Dinesh Karthik was serious in giving the instructions to both players, but Virat Kohli, on the other hand, stood on the other side, where he showcased some funny gestures, while also agreeing with Karthik. His reaction to DK’s strategies even made Andy Flower break his character.

Suryavanshi Shows Respect, Dhoni Shows Comedy

Vaibhav Suryavanshi, one of the new debutants in the Indian Premier League, made his impact with his rapid-fire knocks while opening the games for the Rajasthan Royals. Following his century, he also gained much attention from the senior players, breaking the records of many in just a single game. But in the match against Chennai Super Kings, he finally got to play against his idol, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. These players have already been talked about this season, as Dhoni is the oldest to play, while Vaibhav was the youngest.

After the match between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, the latter came out victorious, and Suryavanshi made his impact felt with a half-century even in this match. In the post-match session where both teams greeted each other, Suryavanshi also touched MS Dhoni’s feet, in a gesture to showcase his respect towards Captain Cool. Later in the post-match interview, Dhoni was asked about the incident, to which he responded by saying, “Well, definitely, you feel old.” He also mentioned Andre (Siddharth), who is a part of his team and is exactly 25 years younger than him, and went on to laugh about the incident, saying that he’s getting either way too old or the IPL is now filled with way too young players.

Kohli Reaches Out, Rinku Logs Out

An incident this season, which ended hilariously for some while also triggering the others, came in the opening ceremony of the tournament. Before the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Virat Kohli and Rinku Singh were a part of the opening ceremony, as they shared the stage with Shah Rukh Khan. Virat Kohli and Shah Rukh Khan stood first on the stage, and when Rinku was invited, the crowd went down cheering, as the Bollywood and Cricket King were on the same stage.

But a hilarious incident took place, as when Kohli went out to reach for a handshake with Rinku Singh, he didn’t receive the handshake from the other side. This was also an awkward moment for Virat Kohli, as his handshake got unintentionally denied at a big stage, which also ended up being a meme sensation at the beginning of the season. This was unexpected, but Rinku Singh must’ve been a bit nervous at the stage that he didn’t notice Kohli willing to shake hands with him. Later on, RCB had an impressive start to the season, as they defeated KKR in the opening game by 7 wickets.

Gill Tosses the Handshake Away

Rinku Singh was not the only junior player who ignored the handshake of a senior, as a similar incident took place in the Eliminator match between the Gujarat Titans and the Mumbai Indians. To seal a spot in the second qualifier against Punjab Kings, both teams clashed at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium. During the toss, Hardik Pandya got the right call, and he decided to bat first. But when he went on to shake hands with the GT captain, Shubman Gill, his handshake got ignored.

For some fans, this also ended up as an outrageous moment, while others also said that Shubman Gill is preparing this attitude for the upcoming Test series against England, after being appointed as the captain of the Indian Test team. Both players also had some serious glances at each other, as Hardik aggressively celebrated after Gill’s wicket. In the end, the Mumbai Indians ended up winning the game and marked their spot in the second qualifier. Shubman Gill posted a story after the match, clarifying his actions were unintentional, and also advised fans not to believe everything they see on the internet. Along with that, he mentioned Hardik Pandya in the story, which was later shared by the MI captain too, on his Instagram.

IPL 2025: Thank You for the Laughs!

Even as IPL 2025 draws to a close, there’s no doubt: it went beyond sixes, wickets, and close matches. It was also thanks to the bloopers, missed greetings, fun gestures, and the hilariously unintended moments that this season stands out so much. Kohli’s funny facial reactions, Suryavanshi’s kind gesture towards Dhoni, and the awkward failure to complete the toss handshake were all memorable and funny moments for fans. Although the players were putting in all their effort on the field, these moments by the sidelines showed what made cricket a special experience. It’s all about the rollercoaster of feelings, and laughter is a major part of it.
