Indian pacers didn't get the ball to swing while Indian batsmen struggled with the swinging ball.
India was bowled out for 217 in the first innings and the Indian pacers were expected to do the same, but the Indian pace unit consisting of Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Shami, and Jasprit Bumrah could not get the same swing with the Dukes ball.

As a result, the New Zealand batsman was seen scoring runs easily and looked to be in control. This led to Virender Sehwag to post a hilarious tweet about the lack of swing by the Indian pacers that left everyone in splits.
“Mood swing ho gaya, ball nahi huyi. (The mood swung but not the ball) #WTCFinal21,” Sehwag wrote on Twitter.

Another former India opener and Sehwag’s ex-teammate Wasim Jaffer, who is known for his sarcastic tweets, posted a really comic meme about the unending swing by the Kiwi pacers.
“Indian batsmen this morning #WTCFinal,” Jaffer wrote as the caption.
