The second T20I between India and South Africa at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur produced a dramatic moment that set social media buzzing. Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh endured a tough outing when he delivered an unusually long and erratic over that left fans stunned.
In the 11th over, after being struck for a six by Quinton de Kock, Arshdeep completely lost his radar, sending down seven wides. The over stretched to 13 balls and conceded 18 runs, creating one of the most chaotic sequences seen in recent T20 internationals.
India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir couldn’t hide his frustration. Cameras caught him reacting sharply to the wayward bowling, and the clip quickly went viral. Fans online were quick to notice his animated expression, leading to a flood of memes and reactions across platforms.
Social media erupted with disbelief, jokes, and criticism. While many fans expressed shock at the number of wides, others pointed out the immense pressure bowlers face and called for patience, urging supporters to back Arshdeep despite the off day.
