The Asia Cup has ended, but this doesn’t mark an end to the memes. The tournament had Pakistan losing against India in their first clash. And the same tournament had Pakistan losing against India in the finals. With India going 3-0, the Twitter users took charge of the meme fest.
But it’s not all that has been on social media this week. It was also covered with the ICC Women’s World Cup, and some other hilarious interviews which took place. Let’s take a look at some of the best social media memes throughout the week.
If there is a team which knows just how to celebrate, it will be Pakistan. And definitely both Men’s and Women’s teams, as the Women’s team was first spotted doing the jet celebration. However, their celebrations just remain on the boundary line to entertain the fans.
In Pakistan’s first match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, the team suffered a loss against Bangladesh. The team got all out for 129, while Bangladesh chased down the total with 7 wickets left. This shows that maybe the Women’s team should focus more on performances rather than gestures.
The Pakistani team has been filled with hilarious moments both on and off the field. This time, the moment came as a nostalgia for Saeed Ajmal, a former Pakistani bowler. In a recent interview, he talked about the team which went on to help Pakistan win the 2009 T20 World Cup.
He also revealed that the Pakistan Prime Minister at that time provided them with a cheque worth 25 lakh rupees. But the real plot twist came at the time he went to cash the cheque. Ajmal was shocked to know that the cheque had been bounced, while this moment is being trolled by the fans to a great extent.
After India had won the Asia Cup final, they refused to take the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi. Due to this reason, he took the trophy and medals along with him, which have still not been handed over to the Indian team. However, some memes have revealed what Naqvi would have wanted to return the trophy.
It says that if the Indian team is able to provide him with basic food supplies, he would return the trophy and medals to them. Although the demands are not much according to the Indian fans, they would definitely mean a lot to Pakistan. Since the country is trolled for its inflation, this meme has made sense to a great extent.
The presentation of the Asia Cup final was supposed to be done by Mohsin Naqvi. Although Naqvi was present on the stage, the Indian team refused to take the trophy from him. The reason was clear: he was the Pakistan Interior Minister, and the Indian team had prevented even shaking hands with Pakistan in the tournament.
Following this, Naqvi decided to walk away from the stage after waiting for minutes. But he didn’t just go back alone; he even took the trophy with him. To this, a Twitter user came up with a famous Bollywood meme, which perfectly shows how Naqvi ran away with the trophy.
When India didn’t receive the winning trophy from Naqvi, the BCCI talked about it with the other teams in the Asia Cup. Following this, a meeting was conducted by the ACC, which also involved Mohsin Naqvi. He did talk about his actions in the final, but he didn’t talk about the trophy.
Every possible thing was discussed in the meeting, but when the BCCI asked about the trophy, Naqvi called off the meeting. To this, a Twitter user has given the best meme, saying that the ACC Meeting was a joke even to the chief, Mohsin Naqvi. He called the meeting himself, yet didn’t discuss the trophy issue.
The two-match Test series involving India and West Indies has also started. In the previous Test matches played by the team, they got out for just a total of 27 runs against Australia. Coming out of that against India in the away conditions was a big challenge for the team.
But the West Indies team was able to score 162 runs in the first innings. To this, the official page of Iceland Cricket decided to create a meme. With a tweet, they said that the scores of the West Indies have seen a 400% increase, as compared to the 27 runs all out in their previous Test.
Arshdeep Singh was a part of the Indian team which won the Asia Cup 2025. Despite being the team’s best bowler in the T20I format, he was not able to play the majority of the games. However, you cannot steal the spotlight from Arshdeep Singh at any cost, and he proved the same.
After India had defeated Pakistan in a thrilling final, Arshdeep Singh created a number of reels. He didn’t just create them alone; he also involved various players such as Kuldeep Yadav, Jitesh Sharma, Harshit Rana, and many more. Posting it all on his Instagram handle, Arshdeep is known to have received the most benefits with India’s win.
India did win the Asia Cup final, but they didn’t celebrate the win with the trophy. And yes, the reason is simple, because the trophy was taken away by Mohsin Naqvi to his hotel room. But that didn’t even stop the Indian team from celebrating the win.
They acted like they were holding a trophy and did a photoshoot with the same. However, the official Instagram handle of the Delhi Capitals was quick enough to fix the same. The admin made the perfect edit, which fixed the trophy issue which was being faced by the Indian team in the final photoshoot.
Unlike the other two Asia Cup games between India and Pakistan, the Pakistani fans really had hopes with their team this time. When India stood at the score of 20/3, fans started celebrating as if they had already won the game without it ending. But things changed soon for them, as Tilak Varma changed the game to India’s favour.
Upon the loss, the Pakistani fans were left devastated, which was even spotted outside the stadium. A Twitter user brought down some flashbacks of the 2019 World Cup, imitating how the Pakistani fans would have felt. And maybe, who knows, the Pakistani players would have eaten junk food before the finals.
The matches between India and Pakistan were also linked to the political tensions between the two countries, which increased after the Pahalgam attack. With India having an upper hand over Pakistan later on, the Pakistan Prime Minister said at a conference that they don’t have proof of winning against India.
Instead, he said that the proofs are present all over social media. But with India now defeating Pakistan, these are also the proofs which are available on social media. To this, the Pakistani PM might claim that they don’t have the trophy, and it’s all over social media.
The Pakistani Army Chief is now known for his senseless claims. And this was proven after the Indian armed forces successfully conducted Operation Sindoor. But the Pakistan Army Chief didn’t back down with his words, and yes, only the words, not action.
He claimed that since there is no footage, it is Pakistan that won against India. However, the Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan was telecast live, where fans all around the world saw Pakistan being thrashed. To this, a Twitter user created the meme of their Army Chief, saying that the match was live, else they would have won.
Throughout the Asia Cup 2025, the Indian team remains the second thing which haunted Pakistan. The first is still the onslaught they faced against the Indian opener, Abhishek Sharma. He was the main reason why India received electrifying starts throughout the tournament.
Against Pakistan, he went on to smash a four on the first ball in the Group Stage and a six on the first ball in the Super Fours stage. Dominating the premium fast bowlers with ease, fans have claimed that Pakistan has got Abhishek Sharma as their new father. A Twitter user went far, creating an image of Abhishek Sharma printed on the Pakistani rupee.
In the Asia Cup final match, some fans argue that Tilak Varma rightly deserved the Player of the Match award. While others even say that Kuldeep Yadav should have received the award for his bowling. But there is always a third dimension, which is also the case in this scenario.
To several Indian fans, Haris Rauf was the real Man of the Match for the Indian team. And this may be true to some extent, as he alone conceded 50 runs in the 147-run chase. It seems that Haris Rauf wore the wrong jersey that day, or he was India’s real 12th man in the finals.
