Fans were hoping for an action-packed third day in the third Test between India and Australia in Indore. Australia were looking to win the match by chasing down the target of 76 runs. While team India were looking for a miracle to continue their winning momentum. However, all Indian batters like Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma had a terrible game with the bat in both innings.
However, the Men in Blue had a good start to the day as Ravichandran Ashwin picked up the wicket of Usman Khawaja in the very first over. Shreyas Iyer was fielding at the short-leg position while the spinners were bowling. There, he was seen sledging to Travis Head by saying: ‘Ek leg Chandigarh mein aur ek leg Haryana mein’. It seemed that Iyer was trying to say that Head’s one leg was in Chandigarh and another leg was in Haryana.
Shreyas Iyer scored 26 runs in the Indore Test against the Aussies
Hearing such sledging from the cricketer, fans went crazy and shared their funny views on the social media platform. Speaking about the match, Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first. India got bundled out for just 109 runs in 33.2 overs. Virat Kohli was the highest run-scorer with 22 runs off 52 balls. While Shreyas Iyer scored a two-ball duck. In reply, Australia scored 197 runs and managed a lead of 88 runs. For the Aussies, Usman Khawaja scored 60 runs off 147 balls.
But, the Men in Blue had another terrible batting performance in their second innings. They got bundled out for just 163 runs in 60.3 overs and gave a target of 76 runs to the Aussies. However, Shreyas Iyer had a start in the second innings as he scored 26 runs off 27 balls, including three fours and two sixes. So, fans were not happy as Iyer failed to convert the start he had.
Here are some funny tweets shared by fans reacting to the sledging of Shreyas Iyer in the Indore Test:
