IPL 2021: Wasim Jaffer makes fun of MI's qualification chances with an 'Andaz Apna Apna' meme
The defending champions Mumbai Indians (MI) have an imposing task ahead to qualify for the playoffs in IPL 2021. They need to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by at least 171 runs in their clash on Friday to book a spot for the second stage. They will be automatically ousted if they bat second in the encounter.
Ahead of the highly anticipated Mumbai-Hyderabad clash, Wasim Jaffer took to his social media accounts to share a hilarious 'Andaz Apna Apna' meme. He used the meme to underline the significance of the toss in tonight's fixture.
Netizens had a good laugh at the expense of the five-time champions, as MI have a nearly impossible task ahead. However, they will be hopeful of coming up with a dominant performance in their last league match irrespective of the outcome.
