Twitter Explodes as Cricket Witnesses a Sunday Full of Shocks

Cricket fans are used to getting some shocking results often in the game. But in the majority of the cases, the shocking results or retirements are limited to just one or two per day. However, things took a sharp turn yesterday, when a true mad Sunday happened for the cricket fans.

First of all, Ben Stokes, the English captain, announced his retirement in the middle of the game. He confirmed that it will be his last international game playing for the English team. Following this, fans thought to distract themselves with the matches of the Indian team.

But it didn't turn out as expected in both games. The men's team suffered a close loss to Ireland, losing by just one run, which turned out to be their first series loss in 1050 days. Along with that, the women's team lost to Australia in a virtual knockout by 6 wickets, marking an end to its Women's T20 World Cup campaign.

Here's how Twitter has reacted to this Mad Sunday.

End of an Era

The retirement of Ben Stokes surely marks the end of an era for the fans. They have been watching Stokesy dominate the game across formats for almost a decade.

We Can't Handle it

Cricket should have shown some mercy upon the fans. We all can't handle this many shocks in just a single day, especially when it is the weekend.

Party Time

A meme has gone viral, which claims that three Indian players would be happy with this loss. And it is Suryakumar Yadav, Rajat Patidar, and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who didn't got a chance to play against Ireland.
