Indian Cricket Team led by Virat Kohli is on the rise and has been doing wonders on the field. With multiple series wins, India is currently one of the best team in the world. Just recently, India thrashed West Indies and won the 2-match Test Series 2-0. West Indies did a pretty decent job in the second test but lost the match in three days.
As soon as India won the series, congratulatory messages started pouring in from fans, cricket legends, and many political parties. The Indian National Congress also congratulated Team India with a Twitter post. However, they got massively trolled by netizens for their big blunder.
The official Twitter handle of Congress shared a picture of Indian Team celebrating a West Indies Wicket with a caption that reads,
“Congratulations to the men-in-blue for the 2-0 Test series win against West Indies. #IndvWI 🎊”

However, as you can see they wrote men-in-blue while congratulating India for the series win. This statement has not gone down well with the fans, as they slammed Congress left, right and center. After all, cricketers wear white jersey in the Test matches, whereas they wear the blue jersey for ODI and T20 matches.
As usual, Twitterati took this golden opportunity to troll Indian National Congress like never before. Some of them even took a jibe at party president Rahul Gandhi in the most hilarious way.
This Is How Twitter Reacted:
