Dhoni is batting like that uncle who while coming back from work in the evening, asks the gully cricket playing kids to let him bat once and tries to hit the first ball for six. #INDvAUS

First ball six. This man is a disgrace to all the Rahuls who came before him.

Now, Vijay Mallya was also one of the attendees at The Oval and we got a staple diet of Mallya-SBI jokes.

Apart from this, the crowd held the balidaan sign to show solidarity with Dhoni and shouted ‘cheater at Steve Smith, only to be shut by Virat Kohli.

Indian supporters jeer Steven Smith at third man with repeated chants of cheater. Kohli approaches Smith after the over and shakes hands with him. Probably meant to say “don’t mind the boos, mate?” #ICCCWC2019 #INDvAUS @DeccanHerald

@cricbuzz Personally think it is quite immature of the Indian fans calling Steve Smith a ‘cheater’,we should be focusing on our own players and respect the opposition. Class from Kohli 👏🏼
