Virat Kohli and RCB coach Mike Hesson memes rule Twitter after Kyle Jamieson flop show
Twitter was abuzz after RCB's new recruits Kyle Jamieson and Glenn Maxwell's poor performances as fans ran a meme riot and brutally trolled Virat Kohli's side.
RCB team 2021's newest recruits Kyle Jamieson and Glenn Maxwell are currently featuring in the five-match New Zealand vs Australia T20 series. The duo recently played for their respective countries in the second T20I, a game which saw runs galore from both sides. However, it was New Zealand who kept their nerves in the end to secure a thrilling four-run win.
RCB trolled brutally after Kyle Jamieson and Glenn Maxwell's poor show
Having been invited to bat first, the hosts scored a gigantic 219/7 riding on the back of a stunning 50-ball 97 by Martin Guptill. In response, Australia could manage to score 215/8, thus falling short by a paltry 4 runs. One of the main reasons behind Australia's defeat was the collapse of their middle-order which also included RCB all-rounder Glenn Maxwell who scored just 3 runs off 5 balls before being dismissed by Mitchell Santner.
On the other hand, the RCB team 2021's most expensive member at the IPL auction, Kyle Jamieson also had a forgettable match as he was taken for cleaners by the Australian batsmen. The lanky all-rounder gave away a whopping 56 runs in his four overs at an abysmal economy rate of 14 and also failed up to pick a single wicket. Notably, the Kyle Jamieson IPL 2021 price is a massive ₹15 crore.
