IND vs SA 2022: Top 10 funny memes after South Africa reach 227/3 in 3rd T20I against a toothless Indian bowling attack
South Africa posted a mammoth total of 227/3 in the third T20I against Team India on Tuesday, October 4, at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore. The hosts have already bagged the three-match series by winning the first two games.
After being put in to bat first, South Africa lost their skipper Temba Bavuma (three) cheaply in the fifth over. However, Quinton de Kock (68) and Rilee Rossouw (100) took the aggressive route. The duo scored runs at a fast clip by carting the Indian bowlers all around the park.
De Kock, unfortunately, got run out in the 13th over after a fluent half-century. Rossouw, however, stayed put at the crease. He made optimal use of the batting-friendly conditions and small boundaries to smash his maiden T20I century.
Tristan Stubbs (23) kept him company, with the pair stitching together an 87-run partnership. David Miller (19* off five balls) smacked three sixes in the final over against Deepak Chahar to finish the South African innings on a high note.
The Indian bowlers, barring Ravichandran Ashwin (0/35), looked helpless as they conceded over 11 runs per over.
Fans were seriously concerned with the repeated dwindling returns of the Indian bowling attack in recent games. They took to Twitter to share hilarious memes expressing their views on the actions that unfolded during the first innings.
Here is a collection of the best memes:

India lose Rohit Sharma, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant early in the chase
The hosts got off to a disastrous start in the chase as skipper Rohit Sharma departed for a two-ball duck in the very first over. To make matters worse, Shreyas Iyer (one) was also dismissed in the second over after a brief struggle at the crease.
Rishabh Pant (27 off 14) and Dinesh Karthik (46 off 21) tried to resurrect the innings with their quick 41-run stand. Lungi Ngidi dismissed Pant in the fifth over to end dent India's chase further before Keshav Maharaj dismissed Karthik.
After 10 overs, Men in Blue reached 95/5, with Harshal Patel and Axar Patel at the crease.
