‘Aur bhai maarli century’ – Fan drop hilarious memes after Shubman Gill shakes hand with KL Rahul after failing in third Test against Australia
India opening KL Rahul has been dropped from the playing XI for the ongoing third Test against Australia. He has been failing with the bat across formats in the last few months. During the first two Tests of the series, the likes of Aakash Chopra and Venkatesh Prasad had a war on Twitter over Rahul’s inclusion in the team.
Meanwhile, the right-hander has been dropped which was anticipated given Shubman Gill’s extension preparation in the last few days. Now, the latter opened the batting with skipper Rohit Sharma. However, after having a good start (21 off 18 balls including three fours), he was caught at slips by stand-in skipper Steve Smith off Matthew Kuhnemann. After returning to the pavilion, the 2018 U19 World Cup winner was seen shaking hands with KL Rahul.
The image of the incident has been going viral on social media. Fans have been dropping memes on Twitter.

India is in massive trouble on the first day against Australia
For the first time in the series, the home team won the toss and elected to bat first. However, after the spell of Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green ended, it was the start of a batting collapse for India. Since the spin trio of Matthew Kunhemann, Nathan Lyon, and Todd Murphy started bowling, India started losing wickets and continues to do so.
At the time of writing, the Rohit Sharma-led side has lost nine wickets for 108 runs. Kunhemann has completed his maiden five-wicket haul in the second Test. He made his debut in the Delhi Test played last month. Meanwhile, it will important for the Indian bowlers to fight back for the team as the wicket is helping the spinners and has been challenging for the batters so far.
