Chris Gayle's desi bat to Federer the troll: World Cup memes you have to see

The World Cup 2015 is not even halfway through and we have already witnessed some memorable and hilarious moments which became the food for thought for the internet, especially social media, which was flooded with memes on the World Cup. Whether it’s India beating both Pakistan and South Africa, Chris Gayle’s double century, New Zealand beating England in under 13 overs or even tennis players and politicians joining the World Cup frenzy, social media has been abuzz with talk on such moments, much of which is expressed through memes. We, however, feel that some of the meme-making opportunities were missed or did not get the popularity they deserved on the internet. Here is a list of cricket memes that express some awesome moments of the World Cup better than words: Chris Gayle’s double century against Zimbabwe will not just be remembered for the sheer enormity of the score but also for the fact that the bat he used to get to that score was made in Jalandhar. Gayle will certainly get a lot of Indians fans because of this very fact.

Pakistan has not had the best time at the World Cup. After losing to India and West Indies, we suspect that Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif is now considering leading from the front in cricket apart from politics.

Roger Federer might just have become one of the best trolls the world has known. All Federer did was post a picture of him smiling at blue T-shirt of Team India. Federer didn’t even do it because he favoured the cricket team. He was just taking part in a marketing photoshoot because shares the same sponsor as the Indian team. The amount of people who were outraged because of this post makes Federer a legend in trolling history, even if he did it unintentionally.

If you are part of a team which is participating only for the second time in the World Cup, it is an achievement in itself. Imagine how Shaiman Anwar of the UAE must have felt when he became the first UAE player to score a century in a World Cup match.

Bonus: This is a meme on social media we felt had to be included. We also feel this one requires no explanation. (Hint: Shikhar Dhawan will really like this meme.)
