“2019 World Cup se 2023 World Cup kuch nahi badla” fans create funny memes as India losses early wicket against Australia in World Cup.
The Indian cricket team faced a disastrous start to their batting innings against Australia, finding themselves at 2/3 in pursuit of a 200-run target. This early collapse saw the dismissals of Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Shreyas Iyer, all without scoring a single run. For many fans, this performance brought back memories of the 2019 World Cup semi-final against New Zealand.
In their first ODI World Cup match since the 2019 World Cup semi-final disappointment, India’s batting innings got off to an embarrassing start. Both openers, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma, were dismissed for ducks, while Shreyas Iyer failed to contribute any runs, leaving the Men in Blue struggling at 2-3 in their opening game of the 2023 World Cup against Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Indian fans, who had been elated after witnessing an exceptional bowling effort that limited the star-studded Australian batting lineup to just 199 runs, were left disheartened as the top order crumbled. This put the team in a precarious position in the tournament opener, evoking memories of the 2019 World Cup semi-final, where India had faced a similar predicament while chasing a low total, resulting in their elimination from the competition, despite their dominant performance in the league stage.
