Netizens get creative with Dinda academy memes after Mohammed Siraj's spell vs Kolkata 

Over the years, former Bengal pacer Ashok Dinda has been trolled mercilessly on social media for leaking runs. In fact, even after Ashok Dinda's retirement, whenever a bowler is hammered by a batsman, he is said to be a part of the Ashok Dinda Academy. Mohammed Siraj has continuously been on the receiving end of these trolls. However, on Wednesday, Mohammed Siraj's incredible performance against Kolkata shut trollers down as he picked up three wickets at the top to decimate their top-order.

The Mohammed Siraj spell vs Kolkata was arguably the best display of new-ball bowling this season. The Bangalore pacer also made history by becoming the first bowler in the history of the league to bowl two maiden overs in a match. Siraj finished his terrific spell by taking three wickets and giving away just eight runs in his four overs.

Meanwhile, Kolkata were thumped by eight wickets as their paltry target of 85 was comprehensively chased by Bangalore with more than six overs to spare. The Kolkata vs Bangalore result might not have gone in the Men in Purple's favour, however, they still have a chance to make it to the playoffs. Kolkata who have won five matches and lost five need to win three of their next four games to get into the final four of Dream11 IPL 2020. The Eoin Morgan-led side will now take on Delhi in Match 42 of the Dream11 IPL 2020 on Saturday, October 24 in Abu Dhabi.
