New Delhi, November 11

India's utter rout successful the T20 World Cup triggered a predictable deluge of instrumentality gyan, ranging from aforesaid deprecating to squad shaming, from comic to nasty, lame to crass, but mostly to the point.

And wherever other was it connected show but connected WhatsApp University, the bottomless pit of unsolicted wisdom.

The 10-wicket shellacking by England of Rohit Sharma's squad near millions of fans numb. But lone briefly.

Within hours, the gag mill of WhatsApp got into enactment and the memes started pouring in.

"Itna 1 sided lucifer dekh ke assemblage ka pyaar yaad aa gaya," work 1 meme, referring to the teenage crushes of boys whose ardent romanticist overtures were seldom reciprocated by the recipient.

The astir biting possibly was a purported connection by England to India: "Final hum khel lete hain. Aap Dream 11 pe squad banao. (We volition play the final, you marque a squad connected Dream 11)," referring to the fashionable gaming site.

The Indian cricket instrumentality is seldom this forgiving and jovial aft specified a monolithic drubbing of the nationalist team.

Perhaps, this clip it was antithetic due to the fact that determination was nary existent heartache of a past shot loss, the mode Pakistan suffered astatine the hands of India successful the league stage.

The lucifer was virtually mislaid successful the Powerplay, erstwhile England scored 63 runs successful six overs, and sealed by the 16th over.

The facile nonaccomplishment made the full lucifer eminently forgettable and adjacent comical.

Hence, the drama connected WhatsApp.

Even Virat Kohli, who on with Hardik Pandya provided immoderate respectability to the inadequate people of 168, was not spared.

A pictorially morphed meme showed his woman sitting connected her haunches (in a country from the movie Sui Dhaga wherever she played a little mediate people seamstress) adjacent to Kohli lying prone connected his belly successful afloat cricket gear: Kitney aadmi the? (the celebrated dialog from Sholay). Kohli replies (sirf 2).

Yes, lone 2 men: Captain Jos Buttler and Alex Hales, the main demolishers of Indian dreams with their unbeaten knocks of 80 and 86. And with it, the nationalist expectations of an India-Pakistan last laic successful tatters.

"England: Keeping India and Pakistan isolated since 1947," was a remark connected Twitter by idiosyncratic named Melon Husk.

"This is not the archetypal clip England has separated India and Pakistan," work a akin meme connected WhatsApp. Indeed.

The memories of the 1947 partition erstwhile British assemblage regularisation ended with Pakistan gaining independency connected August 14 followed by India connected August 15 are not going distant anytime soon.

Harking connected that theme, a commentator, presumably from Pakistan, wrote: "Hum azaad bhi aik din pehle huway Or Final main b aik din pehlay ponch gae." (We became autarkic 1 time earlier and reached the last besides 1 time earlier).

Perhaps successful a grudging response, an Indian instrumentality retorted bully humouredly: Indian squad tin spell to the last adjacent present – to ticker it!

On a much superior note, an ardent follower of the game, Jiten Verma, provided a non-professional yet astute investigation for India's woes:

"If you cautiously analyse the games, Indian Team (has been giving) a beauteous mean performance, not counting bilateral series. We got knocked retired astatine league signifier successful past WC, aforesaid successful Asia Cup, and this clip the lone convincing wins came against Zim and Ned, mislaid to SA and Eng and hardly got implicit the enactment against Pak and Bang with fortunate assistance of immoderate marginal umpiring calls successful some games.

"In ODI WC we volition astir apt bash overmuch amended adjacent twelvemonth but our T20 squad volition necessitate a large overhaul to play a much attacking and fearless marque of game. Let's spot if thing really happens," wrote Verma.

The legendary Sunil Gavaskar seemingly had akin thoughts connected Thursday erstwhile helium said the T20 squad sorely needs a makeover and expected that a fewer of them won't play the shortest format anymore.
