The Indian cricket team faced the ire of fans after their recent loss in the test series against England. Coach Ravi Shastri was one who was the target of most criticism.
However, while India are now busy in the Asia Cup, fans were suddenly surprised to see #SackRaviShastri trending on Twitter. It turned out that some fans had decided to use the trend to have fun at the expense of the Indian cricket coach.
Twitter soon joined in the fun and started posting funny tweets, gifs and memes. They gave hilarious reasons to Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) asking it to sack Ravi Shastri.
Here are some of the best:
