'Welcome to Ashok Dinda Academy': Twitter trolls Pat Cummins for poor display in KKR vs MI clash

Pacer Pat Cummins did not have the best of debuts during Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) clash against Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Wednesday (September 23). Cummins, who starts his second stint with the Kolkata side, is KKR's most expensive buy at the IPL 2020 auction.

However, the Australian pacer ended up giving away 49 runs from his 3 overs bowled.

He also recorded the joint second most expensive spell by a KKR bowler in the IPL history.

Worst ER for KKR in IPL (3+ overs):

17.00 (51 off 3) L Balaji vs MI Kolkata 2011 
16.33 (49 off 3) J Unadkat vs MI Mumbai WS 2016 
16.33 (49 off 3) P Cummins vs MI Abu Dhabi 2020*

Cummins' below-average display ignited a meme fest on Twitter as netizens trolled the KKR fast bowler.

HERE ARE THE MEMES: 

When you realize you spent 15.5 crores to buy Pat Cummins. #KKRvMI pic.twitter.com/gbV0jysA8l
