Twitter reacts to Yuvraj Singh’s Jersey gaffe against West Indies
The Champions Trophy is done and dusted, but Yuvraj Singh seems hungover by it as he was spotted wearing the tournament jersey when he came to bat against West Indies. The stylish batsman is struggling for form and after this incident, Twitterati didn’t miss the opportunity to poke some fun at him.
Though the first game of the series was washed out by rain, Virat Kohli and company won the second ODI in convincing fashion. India registered a thumping 105 run win over West Indies and with this victory, the Men in Blue took a 1-0 lead in the five-match ODI series.
Ajinkya Rahane (103), Virat Kohli (87), and Shikhar Dhawan (63) were the stars of the day for India, but the spotlight was on Yuvraj Singh. The 35-year-old came into bat after all-rounder Hardik Pandya lost his wicket, on the last ball of the 35th over, and the viewers were quick to notice that he had worn the Champions Trophy jersey, instead of the regular Indian team one.
Although there is a rule that if a team is participating in a particular tournament, they should wear the logo of the tournament. But during a bilateral series, the teams are supposed to wear their regular jerseys.
Not everyone could spot the Champions Trophy logo on Yuvraj’s jersey, but a Twitter user pointed out his mistake on the site, and some people decided to have some fun at the southpaw's expense. Here are some of the best reactions to Yuvraj's jersey gaffe:
