The Bengaluru-based franchise came under the limelight after a tough start to the T20I series opener. England, who were asked to bat first, were off to a poor start when Arshdeep Singh took a wicket with the third delivery, removing Salt for a duck. Big-hitter Liam Livingstone came into bat after the wicket of Harry Brook in the eight over, but he fell to a wrong 'un that struck the stumps when he had little to do, and thus, he had to take a long walk back to pavilion after registering a two-ball duck. The audience was focused on young all-rounder Jacob Bethell, who was playing his first game in India. He struggled to find his rhythm and was eventually dismissed for 7 off 14 by Hardik Pandya when Abhishek Sharma took a brilliant catch at deep mid-wicket. It was a bad day for the trio from England for RCB, and fans didn't hesitate to go wild on social media. Memes started flooding X (formerly Twitter), with one fan jokingly calling them the "Agents 007 of RCB" after their disappointing performance.

Heart needs some time to pump RCB blood into the body, we should wait until then," wrote a fan in frustration.

There will be more chances for these three because four more T20s and a three-match ODI series remain.
