On a lighter side, a few users on the microblogging platform initiated a meme fest. Some others attempted to use Hotstar’s Indian audience’s inability to witness Australia’s batting display as evidence that the website was down. A user aptly captioned this still, referencing the Shah Rukh Khan and Zayed Khan movie Main Hoon Na from 2004: “Hotstar, when Australia is batting well against India. #hotstar #CricketTwitter #INDvsAUS.”

Currently, Team India is leading the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 1-0. After crushing Australia by an innings and 132 runs in the first Test in Nagpur, the Rohit Sharma-led team entered the second game of the four-match series. India’s team made one adjustment. For the second Test match, which is currently being played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Shreyas Iyer was reinstated to the starting XI. Iyer was chosen rather than Suryakumar Yadav.
On the other hand, Australia changed two positions in their starting lineup. Instead of Matt Renshaw and Scott Boland, Travis Head and Matthew Kuhnemann will play in the second Test match.
In the second Test, Australia’s captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat first. After removing David Warner in the 16th over, seasoned India bowler Mohammad Shami secured the game’s first wicket. The second person to leave was Marnus Labuschagne for 18. Two balls later, Aswhin removed Steven Smith to give Team India the advantage. After dismissing Travis Head, Shami claimed his second wicket. Peter Handscomb and Usman Khawaja are both in the batter’s circle.
