10 Best memes of the India v Sri Lanka ODI series

The India vs Sri Lanka series might have started on a surprising note given how things looked like in the first half of the Dharamsala ODI. Suranga Lakmal & Co. almost had India down on the knees but that’s when Mahendra Bahubali of the Indian team aka MS Dhoni walked in. He stitched together crucial partnerships with the tail and on the back of his half century took the team to a respectable total. Though they didn’t win the game, did save them some face.

Dhoni’s Decision Review System calls and stumpings behind the wickets also had social media on their toes as it yet again served as a source for meme generation. Apart from that, the way Rohit Sharma severed the Sri Lankan bowling attack in Mohali was the most talked about moment.

The stand-in skipper scored his 3rd ODI double hundred and absolutely hammered the visitors into submission. It was also his wedding anniversary that day, so it proved to be quite a gift for Ritika who was in the stands and visibly very emotional the moment he got there.

Well before he was forgiven for bowling a no-ball in the Champions Trophy final against Pakistan as the delivery had claimed the wicket of Fakhar Zaman who eventually went on to hit a hundred and bag his side the game, Jasprit Bumrah committed the same mistake again. He had Sri Lanka‘s Upul Tharanga out but when the umpires checked he had overstepped and thus the batsman survived.

In the end, Sri Lanka’s newly appointed limited-overs skipper Thisara Perera got a taste of the ruthless Indian team who started off on a winning note but were completely outplayed in the next two matches and eventually lost the series 2-1.
