After a thumping series win of 3-0 in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, the men in blue took on New Zealand in the first of the three-match ODI series. Both teams played this match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first.
Riding on the historic double century from Shubman Gill as he smashed a swashbuckling knock of 208 runs off just 149 balls with 19 fours and nine massive sixes to his name. He eventually won the ‘player of the award for his brilliant knock as team India won this nail-biting thriller by a margin of only 12 runs.
The thrilled fans also came up with some hilarious and witty memes on Twitter in the aftermath of this nail-biting thriller, thanks to the 140-run knock by Kiwi batter Michael Bracewell. He kept India away from the win till the last over of the match. But eventually, it was Shardul Thakur who had a last laugh in favor of India.
With said that, here we’ll have a look at the top 10 funny memes that are making rounds on social media after 1st ODI between India and New Zealand at Hyderabad.
