WI vs IND 2022 Top 10 funny memes after Team India s clinical victory in the 1st T20I

Team India bowlers backed up batters' hard work with a stellar show in the defense Rohit Sharma-led Team India began the five-match T20I series against West Indies with a clinical 68-run victory at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, on July 29 (Friday). Veteran batter Dinesh Karthik (41* in 19 balls) bagged the Player of the Match award for his spectacular finishing knock in the first innings. In a steep chase of 191, Kyle Mayers (15 in six balls) started the innings off with a bang, courtesy of a couple of boundaries. After getting hit for ten runs off his first two balls, Arshdeep Singh dismissed Mayers to give his side the opening breakthrough. West Indies then sprung a surprise by promoting up the order at number 3. However, Rohit Sharma outsmarted them by bringing in left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja in the next over as the two right-handers were at the crease. The ploy worked wonders as Jason Holder departed for a duck on the last ball of the over. Shamarh Brooks (20) and Nicholas Pooran (18) tried to rebuild the innings but failed to convert their starts. Team India spinners (2/22) and Ravi Bishnoi (2/26) spun a web around the batters in the middle overs, triggering a middle-order collapse. The hosts never recovered after that and eventually crawled their way to 122/8 and lost the match by a margin of 68 runs. Speaking at the post-match presentation after the first T20I, Nicholas Pooran reflected on his side's performance against Team India and said: "Disappointed as a team. The crowd was absolutely amazing here and thank you for your support. First game of the series and we'll look to bounce back. (On the over-rate penalty) At 18 overs the score was 150. Our indiscipline paid the price and we should have been more consistent with our discipline." He added: "190 was always going to be challenging. We needed a good start and the batters who got starts couldn't carry on. By 10 overs we already lost 4 wickets and that cost us the game. (Could they have picked a second spinner?) The spinners did bowl well but if we could have restricted them to 170-180 we could have chased it."
