'Dhoni's Kadaknath chicken business in danger': Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis trolled for his 4th consecutive Test duck

The ongoing Test match between England and Sri Lanka in Galle saw batsman Kusal Mendis getting dismissed by Stuart Broad for a duck. 

Unfortunately, this has been the right-handed batsman's fourth consecutive zero. This comes after Sri Lanka's series in South Africa where Mendis scored just 12 runs in four innings. 

Most consecutive ducks in Tests when batting in Top 6 positions:

5 Danny Morrison

4 Pankaj Roy

4 Mohinder Amarnath

4 Mark Waugh

4 Kusal Mendis

As for the ongoing first Test, Sri Lanka had won the toss and opted to bat. Dinesh Chandimal was leading the side in the absence of Dimuth Karunaratne. 

However, as soon as Kusal Mendis got out, netizens were quick to point out his poor form with the bat. While some said he has all the talent required to perform at the highest level, others wanted him out of the team.

Kusal Mendis got out on fourth Test duck in a row. MS Dhoni's Kadaknath chicken business in danger.

Kusal Mendis appointed as the brand ambassador of @Audi.

If he continues this consistency in the second innings, he’ll be offered the brand ambassador position of @Olympics.
