'Cheerleaders To Do Surya Namaskar After Six': Fans Come Up With Hilarious Memes After Patanjali Shows Interest In IPL Title Sponsorship

Yoga guru Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved is considering to bid for the title sponsorship of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), according to a company official.

The BCCI is currently looking for title sponsors after the slot was sensationally vacated by  Chinese smartphone maker Vivo last week. The Chinese mobile manufacturing giants took the decision just a couple of days after the  after the IPL Governing Council announced that it has retained all of its sponsors including Vivo for IPL 2020.

Vivo was in the middle of a social-media storm in the last 48 hours after the IPL GC’s decision. The BCCI and the IPL GC faced criticism for deciding to not cut ties with the Chinese company. Chinese sponsorship became a bone of contention after the deadly clashes between the Indian and Chinese troops in eastern Ladakh in June.

Confirming the company’s interest in IPL title sponsorship, Patanjali spokesperson S K Tijarawala told PTI: “We are considering this.”

“This is for Vocal For Local and making one Indian brand as global, this is the right platform. We are considering into that perspective,” he added.

Memes galore:

Meanwhile, as soon as the reports of Patanjali’s interest in IPL title sponsorship came out, the fans started making hilarious on the same. Through the hilarious memes, the fans predicted a new logo, Man of the Match awards, new outfits for cheerleaders etc.

Here are some of those memes and reactions:
