Team India’s hopeless situation in the first semi-final World Cup match against New Zealand has left everyone restless, even OTT platforms. Netflix India led the charge when it came to turning pain into memes on Tuesday.

With four wickets down early in the match, things are looking more bleak than ever before for India and being a part of World Cup 2019 final may just be a distant dream. Alas, all is not lost as long we have memes to cheer us up. Netlfix understood this and decided to ask for people’s prayers with a reference to their hit show, Sacred Games.

To every Indian watching the match right now, Bhagwaan ko mante ho? Because if you do please pray. Please. #INDvsNZ#SacredGames2

“To every Indian watching the match right now, Bhagwaan ko mante ho? (Do you believe in God) Because if you do please pray. Please,” the streaming service wrote in their tweet. Fans, too, shared the hurt in their heart in their replies. The dialogue was made famous by Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the show’s first season. He played Mumbai gangster Ganesh Gaitonde on the show.

“Hum Dhoni Ko mante hain (We believe in Dhoni),” wrote one. “Bhagwan ne retirement le rakhi hai (God has taken retirement),” wrote another, perhaps a reference to Sachin Tendulkar. He is watching the game in the stadium. “Aj Dinesh Karthik hi bhagwan hai (Today, Dinesh Karthik is god),” wrote one. However, someone let the Twitter user know that he, too, has been bowled out.
