ENG vs IND 2022: Top 10 funny memes after dismal bowling performance by Indian bowlers in 3rd T20I

After securing an unassailable 2-0 lead, Team India rested their first-choice bowlers and gave their fringe players a chance in the third T20I against England at Trent Bridge on Sunday. The decision backfired big time as the hosts made merry and put on a mammoth total of 215/7 after choosing to bat first.

Umran Malik (1/56), Avesh Khan (1/43), and Ravindra Jadeja (0/45) endured off days on the field as the English batters smacked them all over the park during the first innings. Harshal Patel (2/35) and Ravi Bishnoi (2/30) tried their best to contain the rampaging England batters with decent spells.

Fans took note of the disappointing performance of the Indian bowlers in the third T20I and slammed them for their poor showing. They expressed these sentiments on social media platforms through some intriguing memes targeting the bowlers.
