Team India are looking quite a bit on backfoot as Australia are leading by 296 runs in the second innings of the ongoing World Test Championship 2023 final. Meanwhile, the Aussies are still batting and in a good position in the second innings of the WTC final, they had scored 123 runs for the loss of four wickets at the end of the third day’s play.
Meanwhile, the weather might also play a crucial role on the last two days of the match i.e., the fourth and fifth day. But as of now, there is no such prediction of bad weather or rain at The Oval in London.
But after assessing India’s current position in the match, some of the cricket fans found this ‘no rain’ prediction as an opportunity to troll Rohit Sharma’s men before the start of the play on the penultimate day of the match. Fans took to Twitter to come up with a lot of different kinds of reactions and responses to weather forecasts in context to the performance of India against Australia in this ongoing summit clash of the championship.
Here's how fans reacted:

Speaking of the action of the match at the end of the third day’s play, Australia had scored 123 runs for the loss of four wickets having Marnus Labuschagne and Cameron Green there in the middle on the individual scores of 41 and 7 runs respectively.
Other than these two, the first-innings stars Steve Smith and Travis Head got trapped by the star Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja in the second innings. Smith and Head could contribute only 34 and 18 runs respectively in the second innings.
Earlier at the start of the innings, the openers, Usman Khawaja and David Warner failed to give a strong start and both of them went back to the pavilion on the team’s total score of only 24 runs.
Ravindra Jadeja has scalped two wickets for India so far alongside one wicket each claimed by Mohammed Siraj and Umesh Yadav in the second innings.
