Among these viral memes arrived a scene from the recent sports biopic drama 83, which was shared by the X (formerly Twitter) account of Netflix India. In the scene featuring Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev, he is seen addressing his team that even though the total run is less, they must have one aim and that is to not let the opponent team score more than 183.

Where is AbRam?

Another hilarious picture had Shah Rukh's entire gang in one picture at the Narendra Modi Stadium, with Shah Rukh seated beside wife Gauri Khan, and Suhana Khan seated beside Suhana Khan in the row below. Many wondered where was AbRam, and the caption read in Hindi, "If the four of them are here then where did they leave AbRam?"

Only Shah Rukh can save us now

Another user said, "Shah Rukh needs to go out there during half time and give these guys a 70-minute speech today. No other way!" The reference was pointed to Shah Rukh Khan's acclaimed sports drama Chak De! India, where he played a hockey coach of the Indian Hockey Team. In the climax, he gives a motivational speech to the entire team where he tells them to seize each and every minute of those 70 minutes of the game. They end up winning the match in the film!
