Ishant Sharma gets trolled on Twitter for his expensive first spell against RCB

In the ongoing Match 16 of the ninth edition of Indian Premier League between Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at Pune, Twitterati made fun of Ishant Sharma for his poor opening spell. He was asked to bowl the first over of the match by RPS skipper MS Dhoni, where he started off with a wide ball down the leg side and continued to bowl at the same area. IPL 2016, Match 16, Pick of the tweets: Rising Pune Supergiants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore at Pune

In his first spell of two overs, Ishant was hammered for 20 runs. This did not end there, Dhoni once again trusted him and ask bowl the last over of Powerplay, he bowled a no-ball and further he was hit for two boundaries by AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli. He conceded 11 runs from his third over.

In between, fans on social media started trolling the lanky Indian bowler and we bring some of the funny tweets from there:
