IND vs ENG: Netizens unleash a flurry of memes to troll KS Bharat after continued flop show in Test cricket

[Brexiter]

The cricketing world was buzzing with excitement as the third day of the second Test between India and England unfolded at Vizag. However, amidst the cheers and celebration, there was one player who found himself in the crosshairs of disappointment – KS Bharat. The local boy, playing at his home ground, failed to make a significant impact with the bat yet again, triggering a flurry of memes from frustrated fans.

The unimpressive day for KS Bharat​

As the third day of the Test progressed, India witnessed a commendable performance with sensational centuries from Shubman Gill (104) and valuable contributions from Axar Patel, Shreyas Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin. Despite favourable batting conditions, India fell short of stretching their lead to the 400-run mark, getting bundled out for 255. Amidst the batting collapse, KS Bharat’s soft dismissal for a mere six runs drew attention and disappointment.

Fans express frustration​

Bharat, the wicketkeeper from Andhra Pradesh, has been struggling to find his form in Test cricket. With 12 Tests under his belt, he has failed to score a single fifty, accumulating only 221 runs at a meagre average of 20.09. Concerns about his wicketkeeping skills have also surfaced, adding to the frustration of fans who had high hopes for the local talent.

The soft dismissal in Vizag​

Bharat’s dismissal, hitting straight into the hands of Ben Stokes in the Vizag Test, became the focal point of fan ire. The soft nature of the dismissal added to the disappointment, leaving fans questioning Bharat’s ability to withstand pressure in crucial situations.

KS Bharat is playing on which new Andhra Quota ? Seems a selection purely done by Dravid. Should back any new youngster than Bharat (who keeps hitting long hops straight to fielders)

KS Bharat's only flex is that no one can abuse him by mentioning his name or else they will be considered anti-national
