"Internet mein bahut takat hoti hai bhaijaan" - Top 10 funny Venkatesh Prasad memes after KL Rahul was dropped for 3rd Test vs Australia

Former cricketer Venkatesh Prasad criticized the Indian team management for giving a long rope to out-of-form KL Rahul at the expense of Shubman Gill in the first two Tests against Australia. After KL Rahul failed in both innings of the second Test in Delhi, Prasad put out a couple of tweets to further his stance on the matter.

Indian cricket fans learned about KL Rahul's exclusion from the playing XI for the third Test against Australia on Wednesday morning and quickly took to Twitter to express their views. They used Venkatesh Prasad's connection to the matter to compile hilarious memes and went on to share them on Twitter and Instagram.
