Fans flood social media with memes as the bus door closes on Ruturaj Gaikwad.
Ahead of India's first ODI against South Africa that took place in Johannesburg on Sunday, Ruturaj Gaikwad was involved in a funny incident. While moving towards the team bus, Gaikwad was just about to enter the vehicle before its automatic gate closed right in front of him. For a moment, Gaikwad was left confused. The video of the incident went viral on social media, sparking a meme fest.
One of the fans wrote, "KL Rahul has blocked Ruturaj Gaikwad's entry into the team bus after his poor performance against South Africa.” Another fan wrote, "Bus driver after Ruturaj Gaikwad scores 5(10).”

It is to be noted that Gaikwad scored five runs off 10 balls against South Africa in the first ODI. India went on to win the game by eight wickets. Fast bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Avesh Khan set up a convincing eight-wicket win for India in the first ODI at the Wanderers Stadium.
Left-armer Arshdeep took five for 37 and Avesh claimed four for 27 as South Africa crashed to 116 all out. Sai Sudharsan and Shreyas Iyer hit half-centuries as India needed just 16.4 overs to reach the target.
