In just the first four days of the week, the cricket fans have witnessed a lot of things. It all started with the Test series between India and South Africa. With South Africa having the upper hand, they were also able to win the series handing India yet another whitewash at home. After this, fans waited for a few days to witness the TATA WPL Mega Auction.
The auction was filled with intense moments, as the teams were giving it all to fill their line-ups. And just when the auction started taking over the headlines, the Indian men’s trio came in. Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni finally had a reunion at Dhoni’s place, where they were invited for a dinner together. Let’s see how Twitter has reacted to all what happened this week.
The Indian cricket team is not going well in the Test format. They have lost a number of games under Gautam Gambhir, and also had their home streak come to an end. And at this time, fans have also been waiting for the moment when the BCCI announces a new Head Coach for the team in the Test format.
With Virat Kohli being invited to Dhoni’s place for a dinner party, the video has gone viral. To this, a Twitter user has reacted by saying that they may be celebrating Gambhir’s farewell party. The downfall of the Test team has been real, but Dhoni and Virat had some feuds with Gambhir at a time.
Fans have been making speculations as to why Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli went to Dhoni’s place for dinner. And a few of them might even know the probable reason for the same, which is to talk about the Indian team under Gautam Gambhir. A Twitter user posted a video which shows what could be happening at Dhoni’s residence.
In the video, he has depicted Dhoni dancing to the Rajnikanth song and he is in full vibe. Well, the video is from the famous TV show, Taarak Mehta ka Ooltah Chashma. He has also depicted Gambhir sitting alone in the room, while Dhoni dances with the entire Indian team, taunting him.
There is a lot happening in the Indian camp lately. And it is all due to the downfall which the team is suffering in the Test format. India went on to lose the home series against South Africa with a whitewash. And this was their first ever series loss at home against South Africa within 25 years.
And after all this, questions were also being raised on Gautam Gambhir, putting him under scrutiny. Amidst all this, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni are having dinner together. A Twitter user reacted to this by saying that it would be a great feast for all three players after watching what is happening in the Indian camp.
The Women’s Premier League Mega auction also took place a few hours ago. In the marquee list, only one player remained unsold and it was Alyssa Healy. Despite leading Australia to the semi-final stages of the Women’s World Cup, she has now gone unsold in the tournament.
However, it should be remembered that Alyssa Healy dropped an important catch in the semi-final match against India. This helped the India Women’s team to reach the finals and eventually win the title. A Twitter user says that the Indian franchises should have done better to Healy for dropping the catch, not keep her unsold.
For those who don’t know, Mitchell Starc is the husband of Alyssa Healy. Starc has also been among the costliest buys in the IPL history, while her wife has just gone unsold in the Women’s Premier League. This must have been a disappointing moment for the couple.
But they will eventually find a moment to make the WPL teams realise the same. However, a Twitter user says that Starc would be having different plans for the same. Their post says that Starc would now be coming to take the revenge of her wife being unsold, from the Indian men’s team.
The Indian team’s downfall in the Test format is being hated by the majority of the fans. But there are a few of them who want the team to lose more games in the longer format of the game, as this would eventually lead to Gautam Gambhir being sacked as the Head Coach in this format.
With India losing the series against South Africa, several fans expressed their disappointment. But there would be a few who know that every Test loss is pulling Gambhir close to being sacked as the Head Coach of the Indian team. So, they are happy and sad at the same time but you won’t know about their actual feelings, which remains a mystery.
During the second Test match, Kuldeep Yadav batted more than India’s top order. He was the only batsman who has played more than 100 balls in that innings of the game. Following this, fans trolled Gautam Gambhir might even send Kuldeep Yadav to bat higher in the next innings of the game.
And it seems that the Head Coach heard what the fans had to say. Kuldeep Yadav came to bat for the team at number four during the chase, which was a shocking moment in the game. To this, a famous Twitter page reacted by saying that Gautam Gambhir reads the trolls and makes it happen immediately in the game.
It was also time for the Mega Auction in the Women’s Premier League. Every team had done their best on the retention, but UP Warriorz decided to use just one out of five. This allowed the team to enter the auction with 4 RTM Cards. In the auction, the former UP Warriorz players got their names listed in several lists.
And these players also acquired high biddings from all the teams. UP Warriorz sat quietly and enjoyed all the bid battles which were going on between the teams. Eventually, they would step in towards the end and use their Right to Match card to take the player away from the team who had almost gotten them.
Over the last few weeks, there have been comparisons in the technologies used by the cricket boards for comparison. Cricket Australia was able to use scientific technology methods to determine the speed of the ball from the arm and a lot more. At that time, fans targeted the BCCI by saying that Cricket Australia is wasting its time on such technology, they should use the Shor Meter.
And now in the Test match between India and South Africa, the BCCI also acquired the technology of Cricket Australia. But it seems to be a far downgrade to the same. In the video, it can be seen that the arm’s covered distance has been highlighted with a marker on the screen.
Fans used to think that they are the only ones who are taking a dig at Gautam Gambhir. But that is not what is going to happen, as Iceland Cricket has their admin active all the time to see what’s trending. And their official Twitter page has been known for handing the best memes and reactions to the trending topics of the game.
And the page even reacted to India’s horrific record in the Test format lately. A tweet came from their official page, which said that the Iceland Cricket team won’t be approaching Gautam Gambhir as the national head coach. They also said that the team is having a winning percentage of 75 in 2025, due to which they have decided to keep Gambhir out of options.
