However, former Indian cricketer and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) coach Wasim Jaffer took to Twitter to post a hilarious Bollywood inspired meme, taking a funny dig at Maxwell’s second successive crucial cameo against India. The veteran posted a meme featuring Naseeruddin Shah’s Gunaah Hai Yeh, dialogue inspired by the Hindi film Sarfarosh, which roughly translates to ‘It’s a crime’.

Jaffer tweet came in reference to Maxwell’s consecutive crucial knocks, after a poor outing in the recently concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 for the KXIP franchise. He even tagged the Australian all-rounder in his tweet.

Jaffer’s humorous take on Maxwell’s form received several funnier responses from users on the microblogging site. A few responses carried the humorous thread further by suggesting that Jaffer should exclude Maxwell from the franchise, to rehire him for a lesser fee. Here are some of the best one’s:

“Will he be retained” in the KXIP camp.

“100 Gunaah hai yeh,” said another.

Another user used a meme, poking fun back at Jaffer. The post features Hindi actor Akshay Kumar’s “Jali Na? Teri Jali Na,” which roughly translates to playfully teasing someone.

“Ladies and gentlemen, Twitter's meme Lord Crown,” wrote another user praising Jaffer’s hilarious memes.

Meanwhile, Australia marked their second win with a 51-run victory and an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
