Gautam Gambhir remains a social media hit because of his reactions (or not) from the dugout
Gautam Gambhir, the mentor of Lucknow Super Giants, is famous for keeping a stoic face no matter the situation of the match. So whenever Gambhir shows even a hint of emotion through his action or expression, it becomes a viral meme.
This time though it was business as usual for the two-time World Cup winner as he provided some more viral content during LSG’s IPL 2023 clash with Punjab Kings in Mohali.

Gambhir was seen sitting emotionless in the dugout in Lucknow, despite his team posting the highest score of this season’s IPL – which also happens to be the second highest in the league’s history.
The Lucknow batsmen put on a power-hitting masterclass to put up a mammoth total of 257 runs. One look at Gambhir and you wouldn’t know whether his team was on the verge of creating an all-time record in the IPL.

People brought out hilarious meme references saying that Gambhir cannot be happy as LSG could not break the record for the highest total in IPL history (263 runs) held by Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Some fans predicted that Lucknow skipper KL Rahul’s dismal performance with the bat could be the reason for Gambhir’s discontent.
Rahul could last only 13 balls at the crease and scored 9 runs.
A picture of Gambhir and Rahul engaging in a serious discussion in the dugout was shared multiple times with fans adding their own flavor of humour.
Here are some other hilarious reactions:
After a massive 56-run win against Punjab, Lucknow have now moved up to the second spot in the table with five wins from eight matches. Their batting department looks in red-hot form, sparking hopes of another playoff qualification this season.
Except Rahul, other top order batsmen showed explosive attitude. Kyle Mayers and Marcus Stoinis hit half-centuries, while Ayush Badoni and Nicholas Pooran played cameos.

After a thrilling performance with the bat, Stoinis also made his presence felt on the wicket-taker’s list as the Australian all-rounder picked up a wicket.
