5. Excited Indian cricket team fans get disappointed after Ajinkya Rahane’s wicket in the World Test Championship (WTC) final
In June 2021, India and New Zealand contested against each other in the World Test Championship (WTC) final 2019-21 at the Rose Bowl, Southampton. After the first innings, the Kiwis were 32 runs ahead of the Virat Kohli-led Indian team. Devon Conway scored a half-century on a challenging wicket while the New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson also scored 49 runs.
India looked completely nervous in the second innings which led to their collapse. Kohli and his men concluded their second innings on a paltry 170. Only wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant looked decent with his bat, scoring 41 off 88. The Kiwis emerged victorious in the game eventually as they chased down a low score of 139 with eight wickets in hand.
During India’s second innings, an amazing incident happened when Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant were at the crease. In the final day’s broadcast, Rahane was displayed batting against Trent Boult in one frame while on the other side of the frame, an energetic Indian team supporter was seen showing support to the side.
As the match moved ahead, Boult outclassed Rahane and gave a major blow to India. Realising Rahane getting dismissed, the excited Indian fan was seen getting disheartened on the video. The Indian boy’s reaction is usually used on social media sites by content creators.

The scintillating victory filled Australian fans with confidence. On the third day of the game, the cameraman captured a young Aussie fan imitating India’s movie actor Allu Arjun’s famous pose from the famous Telugu movie Pushpa. In the video, the supporter also went on to say the dialogue from the blockbuster film in Hindi, “Jhukega Nahi Saala (I won’t bow down).
3. Viral gutkha guy in the India versus New Zealand Test series 2021-22
In 2021, India hosted New Zealand for three T20 Internationals (T20Is) and two Tests. After whitewashing the Kiwis in the T20I series, both teams locked horns in the first Test at Green Park in Kanpur. The match ended in a stalemate after five days of superb action.
Shreyas Iyer, who was playing his debut Test match, created history with his batting, scoring a century in the first innings. On the first day of the game, when Indian batters were dominating the Kiwi bowlers, a man sitting in the crowd grabbed the limelight for chewing something while having a conversation on his mobile phone.
The video of the person went viral on social media sites and netizens named the person a ‘gutka guy’. After the video viral, the fan spoke to ANI and said that he wasn’t eating tobacco but consuming betel nuts and was speaking to a friend who was present at the stadium but in a different stand.
2. Sarim Akhtar's sad reaction in the 2019 World Cup
In the 2019 World Cup, Pakistan ended their campaign in the round-robin stage, ending up in the fifth spot on the points table with five wins and three losses in nine games. After three matches in the tournament, the Men in Green clashed with Australia at the County Ground, Taunton.
On the batting surface, Pakistan won the toss and invited the Aussies to bat first. Riding on David Warner’s 107 (111) and captain Aaron Finch’s 82 (84), the Men in Yellow posted 307 runs on the board. Chasing 308, the Green Army capitulated on 266 runs in 45.4 overs.
Asif Ali didn’t have a great day on the field as he dropped the Aussie skipper Finch and Warner in the game. When the Pakistan stalwart dropped the southpaw, the cameraman focused on a person named Muhammad Sarim Akhtar, who looked completely disappointed with Asif for missing the chance.

1. Jarvo 69 in the India versus Australia match
India started their World Cup 2023 campaign with a scintillating six-wicket victory against Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The match will be remembered for KL Rahul and Virat Kohli’s batting heroics. Riding on Kohli’s 85 off 116 and Rahul’s 97 off 115, the Men in Blue emerged victorious in their opening contest.
Along with these two India batters, another personality attracted a lot of attention in this match. Daniel Jarvis also known as Jarvo 69 broke into the ground which led to the involvement of Virat Kohli along with the ground staff to escort him out of the field. Following this incident, the International Cricket Council (ICC) banned Jarvo from the entire World Cup 2023.
Jarvo has earned the reputation of being a notorious pitch invader. Back in 2021, the English cricket enthusiast strived to invade the pitch during the fourth Test match between England and India at the Oval. Jonny Bairstow, who was batting on the field, scolded Jarvo for the infamous act.
