IPL 2025: Gujarat Titans take hilarious dig on Rajasthan Royals with ‘Tarak Mehta’ reference after 58-run win

Gujarat Titans dominated Rajasthan Royals in Match 23 of IPL 2025 and also had the last laugh in a social media battle. The digital showdown was won after the game ended in GT’s favour at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad by a margin of 58 runs.

After the loss, Rajasthan Royals posted an iconic scene from the renowned Indian sitcom, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, involving Bagha, in which he left everything to fate and decided to sleep rather than worrying. 

GT were prompt in responding to RR’s tweet, and followed the same template as they uploaded a clip from the same show in which Jethalal, a character from the show, was shown being lulled into sleep by his father Champaklal, taking a jibe over their rivals after defeating them.

Meanwhile, the Titans have historically dominated the Royals. The 58-run win in Ahmedabad was their sixth victory against the 2022 finalists. Interestingly, GT won their maiden IPL title by defeating the same opposition at the same venue that year.
