Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu came into the headlines recently not because of his gameplay but over a heartfelt tweet that soon turned into meme fodder. On April 10, 2025, Rayudu shared a tweet and wrote an emotional note about the unflinching support of MS Dhoni, lovingly referred to as "Thala." His tweet stated, "I was a Thala's fan. I am a Thala's fan." I will remain a Thala's fan," and then a request to people to give charity rather than waste money on paid PR.

Though Rayudu's intention was altruistic and his devotion to Dhoni commendable, the internet had other intentions. Soon enough after his tweet became viral, parody versions of his message began emerging. Most prominent among them was a parody tweet in the form of gibberish masquerading as a jumbled-text parody mock of the original message's formatting with comical gibberish. Another fan account reposted Rayudu's original tweet word for word, further adding fuel to the meme wave.

The incident quickly turned into the ultimate example of how Twitter supporters, particularly of cricket, are never slow in transforming serious entries into comedy material. Rayudu's heartfelt message, meant to convey his affection towards Thala, has now transformed into a meme format utilized across various comedic variations on social media.
