Jofra Archer's 10-year-year tweet goes viral after India are bowled out for 46 in IND vs NZ 2024 1st Test
England's speedster Jofra Archer's tweets have a separate fanbase of its own. The fast bowler's old social media posts have gone viral on many occasions, with the cricket star's uncanny ability to predict future cricketing events leaving fans in amazement.
Archer has once again found himself in the spotlight for one of his old posts on the microblogging platform. After Team India were bowled out for 46 in their ongoing Test series opener against New Zealand in Bengaluru, a pacer's 10-year-old tweet resurfaced on social media.
The aforementioned tweet featured just the number 46. Here's what Archer had posted on November 21, 2014:
It is worth mentioning that India's 46-run score is their lowest-ever total in home Tests. The Men in Blue batters struggled to get going against the New Zealand pacers after electing to bat first.
Rishabh Pant (20) and Yahasvi Jaiswal (13) were the only two batters who were able to cross the 10-run mark in the innings. Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin were dismissed for ducks. Matt Henry and William O'Rourke claimed five and four wickets, respectively.
Apart from Jofra Archer, former England captain Michael Vaughan's tweet on India's total also garned a lot of attention
Former England captain Michael Vaughan trolled Rohit Sharma and company for their poor batting performance in the ongoing Bengaluru Test against New Zealand. He sarcastically remarked that the Indian fans should rejoice that the team at least crossed 36 runs.
It is worth mentioning that India were bowled out for 36 in Adelaide against Australia in December 2020, which is the side's lowest Test total.
Mocking the Indian supporters, the cricketer-turned-commentator wrote on X:
"Look on the bright side Indian fans .. at least you have got past 36 .."
In response to India's 46-run total, New Zealand registered 402, courtesy of Rachin Ravindra (134) and Devon Conway's (91) impressive batting exploits. Tim Southee also chipped in with a crucial 65-run knock lower down the order as they visitors claimed a lead of 356.
