India’s star batter Suryakumar Kumar suffered his third consecutive golden duck on Wednesday in a thrilling third and final one-day international against Australia. The 360-degree player — who is the number one T20I batter — is yet to establish himself in the 50-over format. In the first game against Australia, Suryakumar was caught plumb in front of the stumps by an inswinging delivery from Mitchell Starc. In the second ODI, he was dismissed by the same bowler in an identical manner. In the third ODI, Ashton Agar cleaned Suryakumar up with a quick delivery which was fired onto the stumps.
While Suryakumar had been under the radar of critics ever since his failure in the first game against Australia, his third consecutive duck sparked a meme fest on Twitter.

Someone get ready to buy Suryakumar Yadav a golden Audi if he makes 4 consecutive golden ducks in a row

Meanwhile, some fans also suggested Suryakumar to work more on his batting and also gave him strength to bounce back.

Dear #suryakumar Yadav, 3 Ducks ina row says something. It’s not Longer Format jitter syndrome. It might reflect in T20s/IPL too. You were marked by Aus/Nz. Now work like Sachin Tendulkar did in Sydney by restricting Shot Selection.

Suryakumar has scored 433 runs in 23 ODI matches at an average of 24.05, which is way less than the potential and class he possesses. With an unimpressive start to the ODI career, his most recent failure against Australia has put him under the scanner again.
