Ah, cricket banter. The gift that keeps on giving.
With Asia Cup currently underway, the past few days have been pretty action-packed for fans all over the country. Regardless of whether you were busy hosting a screening for all your friends, watching the match at home by yourself or scrolling through your timeline for quick highlights, yesterday’s match against Afghanistan was quite the nail-biter. One particular moment, however, has basically given us meme gold.
A kid was filmed showing the middle finger…

Some not-so-subtle digs at India were carelessly thrown around
