"They got an excuse for every loss"- Top 10 funny memes after England's dismal 1-4 T20I series loss vs India

Fans shared hilarious memes after England suffered a thumping 150-run loss in the fifth T20I against India on Sunday (February 2) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The hosts clinched the series dominantly with a scoreline of 4-1 and lifted the trophy this weekend.

India batted first in the final match of the series and notched up the highest T20I total at the Wankhede Stadium. Opener Abhishek Sharma (135) smashed a 37-ball century to power the home team to a gigantic total of 247/9. Shivam Dube (30) and Tilak Varma (24) supported the Punjab batter with small cameos in the batting department.

Mohammed Shami (3/25), Varun Chakravarthy (2/25), Shivam Dube (2/11), and Abhishek Sharma (2/3) then bowled magnificently to bundle out England for just 97 in 10.3 overs to help India win the match clinically. Phil Salt (55) fought a lone battle for England with an aggressive half-century but did not get any support from his peers.

Fans took note of England's disappointing performance in the T20I series and expressed their reactions by sharing hilarious memes on X and Instagram after the fifth match.

One of the memes read:

"First smog, then concussion substitute & now this. They got an excuse for every loss."
