Senior Indian batter KL Rahul was under the scanner for his long poor run of form with the bat in international cricket since the 20-20 World Cup 2022. Subsequently, the batter also failed in the both Test and ODI bilateral ODI series against Bangladesh. Although he has shown quite a bit of return to form in the ongoing three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka.
The 30-year-old scored 39 runs in the first ODI and later on, he played a decisive 64-run knock in a tough and pressured situation to finish across the line for India. Rahul’s knock helped India to win the second ODI by four wickets and take an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the three-match series.
However, Rahul faced 103 balls to score those 64 runs which drove fans once again to come up with some hilarious and funny memes to mock him.
