The jokes and rivalry between Indian and Pakistani cricket fans on social media go a long way, but India’s abject surrender to Australia at the Adelaide Oval on the third day of the first test was celebrated by our neighbors like never before. .
Saturday saw scenes of outright carnage after the India team collapsed like a house of cards, as none of the visiting batsmen could even achieve a double digit score. The highest individual score of 9 came from Mayank Agarwal’s bat when the hopes and dreams of all Indian fans were crushed after the bloodbath on display.
The loss hurt even more when India entered the third day with an advantage over the Australians, but Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood ensured that the visiting team was reduced to its lowest score in the white uniform. India, which features such players as Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, was included by a measly 36/9.
“The OTP to forget this is 49204084041”, a tweet from Virender Sehwag perhaps summed up Black Saturday.
Watching the match in disbelief were the enraged Indian fans who trolled Kohli’s squad with endless memes, taunts and taunts online. Our Pakistani neighbors who rejoiced over the fact that India was humiliated on the cricket field were not left behind, something that became the main trend of Twitter, namely # 36 in his country.

“It’s very difficult to put those feelings into words. We had a 60-something lead and we just collapsed. When you work hard for two days and you put yourself in a strong position and then an hour puts you in a position where it’s literally impossible to win, “Captain Kohli said in the post-match presentation.
“I think we should have shown a little more intent today. They (the Australians) bowled in similar areas in the early innings too, but probably our mindset was to score runs.”
After three sensational hours of play, the home team beat India by 8 wickets to go 1-0 up in the four-game series.
