On July 31, Indian spinner Ravi Bishnoi took to Instagram to share a memorable post celebrating India’s dramatic victory over Sri Lanka in the final game of their three-match T20I series. The post featured a captivating image of Bishnoi himself, a photo of Rinku Singh celebrating a crucial wicket, and an iconic meme featuring Bollywood star Akshay Kumar. The caption, “Wrong number right nikal gaya,” added a humorous touch to the celebratory post.
India’s victory in the third T20I was nothing short of thrilling. Having already secured the series with wins in the first two matches, the Men in Blue faced a challenging final game in Colombo on July 30. Despite a disappointing batting performance where they could only muster 137 runs, India’s bowlers stepped up to deliver a nail-biting finish.
Shubman Gill was the standout performer with the bat, scoring 39 runs, but the rest of the lineup struggled against the Sri Lankan bowlers. The hosts, chasing a modest target, found themselves in a favorable position at 129/4 with only 12 balls remaining. The pressure was on as they needed just nine runs to secure a win.
In a pivotal moment, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav turned to Rinku Singh for the penultimate over. It was a significant decision, as Singh was bowling in T20Is for the first time. The off-spinner rose to the occasion, dismissing Kusal Perera and Ramesh Mendis while conceding only three runs. His exceptional performance put Sri Lanka under immense pressure, leading to a tense final over.
Suryakumar Yadav then took the responsibility in the last over and struck twice to force the match into a Super Over. The Super Over proved to be another test of nerves, but Washington Sundar’s brilliant bowling, which saw him take 2/2, ensured that Sri Lanka could only post a small total.
When India batted in the Super Over, Suryakumar Yadav hit the first ball for four, sealing the victory and completing a remarkable whitewash of the hosts.
Ravi Bishnoi’s Instagram post highlighted the role each player played in the thrilling win. The photo showed Bishnoi, who had scored eight crucial runs in the game, alongside Rinku Singh, celebrating his key wickets. The inclusion of the Akshay Kumar meme, known for its humorous “idhar ka udhar” catchphrase, perfectly captured the mood of triumph and relief following the tense match.
Bishnoi’s caption, “Wrong number right nikal gaya,” playfully referenced the unexpected twist of events and India’s successful execution of their plans, despite the initial hurdles. The meme and the post resonated with fans, encapsulating the excitement and satisfaction of India’s victory in a fun and relatable way.
The victory not only marked a clean sweep for India but also highlighted the depth and talent of the squad, showcasing their ability to clinch matches under pressure. Ravi Bishnoi’s post was a fitting tribute to a memorable series and a celebration of teamwork and resilience.
