Top 10 funny memes as Team India's top-order collapsed meekly in a paltry chase in the 2nd ODI vs Sri Lanka

Team India's top order failed to deliver and collapsed meekly in the chase of 216 in the second ODI against Sri Lanka. The second game of the three-match series took place on Thursday, January 12, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka won the toss and opted to bat first in the contest. Indian bowlers put on a wonderful show and bundled them out for 215 in 39.4 overs.

Debutant Nuwanidu Fernando (50) top-scored for the visitors with a half-century. Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammed Siraj were the picks of Indian bowlers as they grabbed three wickets apiece.

Rohit Sharma (17) began the chase positively by stepping out and smashing a boundary on the second ball of the innings. Shubman Gill (21) joined in soon after and hit a couple of serene boundaries to give the hosts a brisk start.

Chamika Karunaratne, however, halted Team India's march by dismissing Rohit Sharma in the fifth over. Gill also walked back to the pavilion in the very next over, wasting a great start.

Lahiru Kumara then stunned the Men in Blue by cleaning up Virat Kohli (4) in the 10th over, giving Sri Lanka a massive breakthrough. Shreyas Iyer (28) counter-attacked for a while and attempted to push the visitors onto the back foot.

Iyer also gave a strong reply by hitting a couple of authoritative boundaries when the bowlers tried to exploit his short-ball weakness. Just as he looked set at the crease, Kasun Rajitha dismissed him with a beautiful incoming delivery to reduce India to 86/4.
