In the ongoing 1st Test match between England and Sri Lanka in Galle, Kusal Mendis was dismissed by Stuart Broad for a duck. Unfortunately, this was the right-hander’s fourth consecutive score of 0. Earlier, Mendis was dismissed for zero in three consecutive innings against South Africa.
As soon as Kusal Mendis got out, a section of Twitterati was quick to point out his horrible outing with the bat and rather saw a funnier side of it as well. While some of them said that the right-handed batsman has all the talent required to perform at the highest level, others wanted him out of the team after being given so many chances.
Here are some of the tweets from Netizens reacts as Kusal Mendis scores another duck:
Sri Lanka has batted badly without a doubt, but in the same breath some of the dismissals have been so unfortunate. Terrible day for the home team.
