This was the third match of a three-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka. India set a target of 202 and Sri Lanka was felled; all out in the 16th over with just 123 runs on the board. Here are some of the incidents that triggered the most memes in this #IndvSL T20 match:
After a lot of time, Sanju Samson made it to the playing eleven. His admirers were delighted.
He launched the first ball he faced into a heave over the boundary for a six.
After that confident start, however, Samson has trapped LBW and departed without troubling the scorers further.
It was elation followed swiftly by dismay for Samson.
Fans that had been waiting for Samson to make good this opportunity were disappointed to say the least.
Those who cheered lustily at the six were crestfallen at the very next delivery.
Samson is seen to have been treated unfairly compared with other players who seem to have had repeated chances to prove themselves.
Some joked that there was a sinister reason behind the early departure of Samson.
The tweeple theorised that Rishabh Pant had to have been relieved at Samson's departure.
In the 14th over, Yuzvendra Chahal ball was hit towards mid-off. However Chahal leapt on the ball and aimed it straight at the non-striker’s end and Wanindu Hasaranga had to depart.
For Yuzvendra Chahal memes.
They were making comparisons with arguably the top-rated fielder of all time; Jonty Rhodes.
He made his mark, claiming three wickets in the third T20 match as well.
He was named player of the match for his two wickets and brisk, effective innings.
It was a masterful performance by the men in blue; with Sri Lanka never seeming to wrest the initiative. India won the match and the series 2-0.
