Twitter on Thursday erupted with meme fest after angry Indian cricket fans took to the microblogging site to register their outrage against Team India for their shameful defeat in the T20 World Cup semi-final. This was after India lost to England by 10 wickets with four overs to spare.
While Team India became a topic of ridicule even by their own fans, social media users from Pakistan and England did not miss the opportunity to take potshots at the Indian team.
Batting first, India could only manage 168-6 in 20 overs with Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya scoring half-centuries. However, England achieved the target in just 16 overs without losing any wickets. Alex Hales and skipper Jos Buttler remained not out at 86 and 80 respectively.
The news did not go down well with Indian fans as they targeted BCCI Secretary Jay Shah and the BCCI, which organises the IPL. The general consensus was that the much-hyped IPL had failed to produce a World Cup-winning team.
