Dean Jones gets brutally trolled for his 'India needed rain to win' tweet

New Delhi: Virat Kohli's team India had to defend a total of 164 in 21 overs against Australia in the first ODI in Chennai after the match was curtailed due to rain. 

The Men in Blue took a 1-0 lead in the series by defeating Steve Smith's men by 26 runs (D/L) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.

Disappointed with the defeat, former Australia cricketer Dean Jones took to Twitter and wrote, "So I see India needed a bit of rain to win that game. Ok ... bring on Game 2." 

So I see India needed a bit of rain to win that game. Ok ... bring on Game 2 @StarSportsIndia #Wearecoming #INDvAUS — Dean Jones (@ProfDeano) September 18, 2017

The tweet did not go well with Team India fans and the Aussie had to face a lot of backlash for his statement.

Here is how the Indian Twitter reacted:

My dear Dean Jones,

A sophisticated team doesn't make gaffes. I hope you comprehend my context.

Thank you. — Ravitheja (@Ravisaitheja) September 18, 2017
