India all-rounder Washington Sundar has responded to Wasim Jaffer's meme on his missed hundred in the fourth Test against England. The former India batsman Jaffer is popular on Twitter for his strong meme game.
Sundar had missed out on his maiden Test hundred twice in the recently concluded Test series because of running out of partners. On Saturday (March 6), Sundar was left stranded on 96* runs as he lost Akshar Patel, Ishant Sharma, and Mohammed Siraj on the other end.
Jaffer joked about Sundar's father being upset about the missed ton like he was during the Australia tour. "Axar, Ishant and Siraj next time they meet Washington's father at a function????. But seriously this 96* is no less than a hundred, very well played @Sundarwashi5 ???????? #INDvENG," he wrote.

Sundar took no offense to the meme and replied, "Thanks a lot bhaiya! Dad will definitely treat them with a lot of biryani and Halwa!".
After the series, Sundar's father was indeed not happy with the effort by Indian tailenders. He wanted them to hang in there for a while and not give away their wicket.
“What I am really disappointed about are the tailenders. They couldn’t stay on for even a brief while. Suppose India were playing, needing 10 runs to win, wouldn’t this have been a huge mistake. There are millions of youngsters watching, they shouldn’t learn what the tail-enders did,” he had said.
