Cricket fans are flooding social media with memes on Day 2 of the third India-England Test match
Twitter is on the rise on Day 2 of the third India-England test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Interspersed with live tweets and expert commentary on the microblogging platform are also a series of hilarious memes and funny posts from cricket fans. As with other cricket matches, this one also spawned a flood of memes on social media – despite the fact that India witnessed a dark start on day two, when Joe Root and Jack Leach completely dominated the hosts’ batsmen. Only Rohit Sharma (66) managed to find a little rhythm.
After taking the lead in the first round, India quickly achieved the initial wickets against England. The visitors got off to a bad start on the second entry, with Axar Patel kicking Zak Crawley and Jonny Bairstow out on Day 2.
Axar Patel’s performance received praise from various sectors – including a congratulatory tweet from Congress Secretary-General Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s son, Raihan Rajiv Vadra.

India and England were tied 1-1 in the third of four matches that could decide which team would go to the final of the test world championship against New Zealand.
The reconstructed Ahmedabad stadium can accommodate 110,000 fans, but it opened only 55,000 seats in its first international match due to the coronavirus pandemic.
