“Thank you ‘fraud’ idli, now please leave” Fans troll Shreyas Iyer after one more failure against England in the 2nd Test.
Once again, Shreyas Iyer fell short of a significant score in the ongoing second Test between India and England in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, February 4. Despite getting off to a promising start, the right-handed batsman managed to score only 29 runs off 52 balls, which included two boundaries. England captain Ben Stokes showcased his agility with a remarkable catch at mid-off to dismiss Iyer.The dismissal occurred during the 28th over of India’s second innings. Facing a full-length delivery from Tom Hartley, Iyer attempted to play it over the infield by stepping down the track, but his bat turned during the shot execution. As a result, the ball went airborne, prompting Stokes to sprint approximately 20-25 yards from mid-off to complete a stunning catch.It’s worth noting that Iyer, typically adept at handling spin bowling, has now been dismissed four times out of four by spinners in the ongoing Test series.Following his dismissal, fans on social media platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), took to roasting Iyer and creating memes, highlighting his failure to score a half-century in his last 12 Test innings.
