IND vs AUS 2022: Top 10 funny memes after Australia post 186/7 in the series decider against India

Australia posted 186/7 while batting first in the third T20I against Team India on September 25, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah looked completely off color in the death overs as the Aussie batters smashed them disdainfully.

Cameron Green (52 off 21 balls) continued his scintillating hitting form and gave Australia a blazing start. The visitors raced to 44 in 3.2 overs before Axar Patel dismissed Aaron Finch (7) to give India their first breakthrough. Green also walked back to the pavilion in the fifth over after bringing up his half-century.

Axar Patel (3/33), Yuzvendra Chahal (1/22), and Hardik Pandya bowled well at this juncture and exerted pressure on the visitors. Australia found themselves with 117/5 on the board after 13.5 overs.

However, Tim David (54 off 27 balls) and Daniel Sams (28 off 20 balls) counter attacked to put on a match-defining 68-run partnership. They completely changed the complexion of the match.

The duo went after Jasprit Bumrah (0/50) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/39) in the death overs. This helped Australia set a massive target of 187 in the series decider.

Fans were disappointed with Team India bowlers for not controlling the run-flow in the end overs. They also felt they could have tightened the screws on the Australian batters after they lost six wickets in the 14th over.

They trolled the bowlers for this by sharing hilarious memes on social media platforms. Here are some of the best ones:
