The Mumbai Indians (MI) had a rough day in the IPL 2023 as they faced a 55-run defeat against the reigning champions, Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. MI couldn’t rise to the occasion to chase down the 208-run target, making it a missed opportunity for what could have been one of the greatest run-chases in IPL history. The wickets kept tumbling down, and runs were hard to come by, leading to a memefest online as disappointed fans shared their frustrations. But amidst all the sadness, a die-hard fan, painted in blue, became an instant meme sensation when his sad face was caught on camera, providing plenty of ammunition for online trollers to poke fun at MI’s misfortunes.
This fan, who had gone to great lengths to show his support for the team by painting himself entirely blue, was left disappointed when the Rohit Sharma-led squad failed to perform up to expectations. Unfortunately, things went downhill for MI from the very start of their second innings, and the fan’s efforts seemed to have gone in vain as he couldn’t even cheer for his team. It was a heartbreaking moment for him after spending hours preparing himself to show his love for MI.
However, the internet had other plans for the fan’s blue avatar, and soon enough, he became the centre of a hilarious meme fest that took over Twitter!

In the match, the MI skipper asked Hardik Pandya’s team to bat first, and they put up an impressive total of 207/6. Shubman Gill’s half-century, along with enterprising scores in the forties by David Miller and Abhinav Manohar, helped GT achieve this feat. But Mumbai’s response fell short as the scoring rate was kept in check throughout the second innings, and their chase never got going. GT maintained their dominance from start to finish, securing a convincing victory that put them on equal footing with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the top of the points table.
Adding to Mumbai’s woes, fans even left the stadium early, disheartened by the outcome of the match, even before it had ended.
