In addition to leaving spectators in awe, India’s supremacy over England in the second Test has sparked a new wave of memes on the internet.
India declared at a massive 427/6 in their second innings, giving England a target of 608 runs to win, thanks to an explosive 161 from Shubman Gill and important contributions from KL Rahul (55), Rishabh Pant (65), and Ravindra Jadeja (69 not out). Even though the on-field performance was brutal, social media celebrated in its own way.

After smashing 269 in the first innings, Shubman Gill maintained his incredible run with a dazzling 161 off 162 balls, which included eight soaring sixes and 13 fours. The England bowlers were demoralized by his aggressive combination with Pant, who struck 65 off only 58 deliveries. Later, Jadeja contributed to the slaughter with a cool, undefeated 69, joining his skipper in a 175-run partnership that put England well out of the game.

However, fans were enthralled with Shubman Gill’s audacious declaration during India’s second innings at Edgbaston. It appeared to be a bold and determined move for his first significant choice as Test captain. Although the revelation was praised in and of itself, what he was wearing at the time is now making a big deal.
