'Looking Like A WOWOWOOWOWW': India's Batting Collapse Against South Africa Triggers Meme Fest

A dramatic batting collapse saw India lose their final six wickets without the addition of a single run, in a first such instance in Test cricket history, sparking a meme fest on social media.

India's Virat Kohli reacts after being dismissed by South Africa's Kagiso Rabada on the first day of the second Test cricket match between India and South Africa, at the Newlands Cricket Ground, in Cape Town, South Africa, Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2024.

It was an action-packed day at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town. It all started with Mohammed Siraj bowling a spell to remember for the ages as he scalped six wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs as India bundled out the Proteas for 55 runs, the lowest-total ever by an opposition against India. In response, India were leading by 98 runs with six wickets in hand with a set Virat Kohli being accompanied by KL Rahul fresh from a hundred in the previous Test.

However, a dramatic batting collapse saw them lose their final six wickets without the addition of a single run. India in a span of 11 balls went from 153/4 to 153 all out after a series of deliveries which read: 'W,0,W, 0, W, 0, 0, W, 0, W, W', sparking a meme fest on social media.

Take a look at some of the reactions here:

Most funny thing about this game is, one team who got bowled out for 55 Or another team who lost 6 wickets for nothing is going to win the match 🤣

Siraj: *Bowls his best spell*
Indian batters: "Once more!"

Siraj: I took 6/15

India: Yeh toh kuch bhi nahi, We will lose 6 wickets for 0 runs!

I thought 2023 was Jai Mata Di, 2024 has begun like only 2024 can. 🙈 😂 #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/nJs7Lf8t4x
