5. Excited Indian cricket team fans get disappointed after Ajinkya Rahane’s wicket in the World Test Championship (WTC) final

In June 2021, India and New Zealand contested against each other in the World Test Championship (WTC) final 2019-21 at the Rose Bowl, Southampton. After the first innings, the Kiwis were 32 runs ahead of the Virat Kohli-led Indian team. Devon Conway scored a half-century on a challenging wicket while the New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson also scored 49 runs.

India looked completely nervous in the second innings which led to their collapse. Kohli and his men concluded their second innings on a paltry 170. Only wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant looked decent with his bat, scoring 41 off 88. The Kiwis emerged victorious in the game eventually as they chased down a low score of 139 with eight wickets in hand.

During India’s second innings, an amazing incident happened when Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant were at the crease. In the final day’s broadcast, Rahane was displayed batting against Trent Boult in one frame while on the other side of the frame, an energetic Indian team supporter was seen showing support to the side. 

As the match moved ahead, Boult outclassed Rahane and gave a major blow to India. Realising Rahane getting dismissed, the excited Indian fan was seen getting disheartened on the video. The Indian boy’s reaction is usually used on social media sites by content creators.
