“It's not how it starts but how it ends” - Fans troll Cricket Australia for sharing Team India’s 36 all-out post ahead of Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Australia
Cricket Australia trolled for posting 36 all-out video of India in Adelaide Test 2020.

With less than three days left before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Cricket Australia (CA) shared a video from Team India’s infamous 36 all-out on social media on Monday, February 6.

Sharing the post on Twitter, CA wrote:

“All out for 36. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy starts on Thursday! #INDvsAUS.”

Virat Kohli and Co. lost the first Test against the Aussies during India's tour of Australia 2020-2021 by eight wickets. Team India were bowled out for just 36 during their second innings as all batters failed to reach double-digit scores.

It's worth mentioning that the visitors fought back to win the four-match Test series 2-1 to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Joe Burns remained unbeaten on 51 as the host chased down the target convincingly.

CA posted the aforementioned video to boost their team and fans' morale ahead of the much-awaited Test series. However, it didn’t go down well with Indian fans as they trolled visitors on the micro-blogging site.

Here are some of the fitting Twitter reactions:
