India vs England 3rd Test: Wasim Jaffer mocks England’s defeat at Ahmedabad

Immediately after India’s 10-wicket win, cricketer-turned-coach Wasim Jaffer took to Twitter and shared a hilarious meme to sum up England’s performance in the pink-ball contest. Sharing a picture of the Hindi-film veteran Amitabh Bachchan from one of his old tourism commercials, Jaffer wrote “Kuch din toh guzariye Gujarat me” (translation: at least spend some more time in Gujarat) in the caption.

The aforementioned caption was a direct dig at the English batsmen for getting bundled out twice to Indian spinners within two days at Gujarat’s Narendra Modi Stadium. With just 140.2 overs, the match became the seventh shortest Test in history in terms of the number of balls bowled. Here is a look at Wasim Jaffer’s comical meme after the visiting English team succumbed to their second successive defeat in the series.
