southampton: There was hope for Indian fans at the start of the sixth day’s play in the World Test Championship final, but the New Zealand bowlers had different plans. Indian wickets kept falling. Ajinkya Rahane also fell cheap. A video of a fan’s reaction after Rahane’s wicket is going viral. Every Indian fan probably has a reaction when they see India batting in the WTC final.
Rahane is facing difficulties in playing the short ball. Like in the first innings, in the second innings too, he got out on a short ball. It was an example of good captaincy from Kane Williamson, who kept a fielder at short leg, which is a tempting position to dismiss Rahane in the first innings. Whereas, Rahane fell behind in the second innings, but again, off a short ball.
Take a look at Rahane’s wicket and the subsequent reaction by an Indian fan sitting at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton.
This response is winning hearts on the internet. India’s performance with the bat certainly deserved this backlash. It was unbelievable for some Indian fans how the first season went for India. India lost 8 wickets in a single day and this would bother India’s batting coach.
Meanwhile, the Test match is currently leaning in New Zealand’s favor as they needed 139 runs to win the last innings, with almost 50 overs to play. If New Zealand wins, it will be their first ICC trophy. They were in the finals of the 2015 and 2019 World Cups, but lost to Australia and England.
