In the second T20I match between India and Australia on Friday, Harshal Patel conceded 32 runs in his two overs with an economy rate of 16, making the fans furious and disappointed. 

Harshal made a comeback after doing an intense rehabilitation programme at the National Cricket Academy for his side strain.  Before playing the three-match T20I series after recovering from injury, he was ruled out the the Asia Cup. In the first T20I, Patel gave away 49 runs in his four overs with an economy of 12.20. 

Patel's underwhelming performance resulted in Twitter getting flooded with sarcasm.

Earlier in the match which was reduced to eight overs, India won the toss and opted to bowl. Australia set a target of 91.
