Netizens Now Slammed ICC On Twitter For Its Biased And Repetitive Memes
International Cricket Council (ICC), well known for its sarcastic posts and memes on Twitter has now faced a backlash after the same tried to take a dig at the South African team as the same had a disappointing fate against India in the recent match of Champions Trophy. This match between Proteas and Indians has its own share of attractions, as it is a virtual quarter-final clash on Sunday at The Oval in London.
However, the defending champions India won the game by 8 wickets with 72 balls, though the Proteas were well placed in the 29th bagging 140runs losing 2 wickets, the following was tough after Faf du Plessis hit one straight to point and De Villiers, who was at the other end, went for the run but fell short by a fair distance to be run out. In the very next over, du Plessis was again involved in a run-out.
Du Plessis called David Miller for a run and then stopped and took a U-turn which got both batsmen at the same end. Eventually, Miller had to make the long walk back as du Plessis had got back in the crease securing himself.
By that moment, Du Plessis was already a part of two run outs in 5 balls, four overs later, he chopped one back straight onto his stumps off Pandya to be bowled for 36. Post his dismissal, the Twitter handle of ICC tweeted a meme for the batsman that roped in Twitter conflicts.
