Adam Zampa shined with the ball in hand as Australia defeated India by two wickets in the second ODI of the three-match ODI series and ensured series victory. He took four wickets and it helped Australia restrict India for 244/9. Zampa, despite being a wrist spinner, did well while India kept Kuldeep Yadav out of the playing XI. This move enraged Congress MP Shashi Tharoor who took to social media to react on it. While pointing out how India not picking Kuldeep Yadav was a trick missed and it was shown by Adam Zampa, he mistakenly uses Xavier Bartlett's name instead of Zampa. Fans were confused initially seeing the comparison between a fast bowler and a spinner, but soon realised it was a confusion of Tharoor's end and took to social media to react on it, often with memes and jokes. Yashasvi Jaiswal's Doppleganger Found!

Fan Clarifies ConfusionÂ
It seems our dear compatriot has fallen victim to a most amusing case of cricketing conflation, having inadvertently mistaken Xavier Doherty, the guileful spinner of bygone days, for Xavier Bartlett, the vigorous purveyor of pace. https://t.co/YDGHhPiS1c pic.twitter.com/ao4P3sDzdt

'This Tweet Is A Bit of A Mystery'
This tweet is a bit of a mystery. Is he suggesting that Kuldeep should replace Kohli? Or is he confusing Xavier Bartlett with Xavier Doherty? Or in typical Shashi fashion, if he finds out that Bartlett is a fast bowler, will he cover it up by saying, âWhen it seams, it spinsâ? https://t.co/2Gh3ImFhvw
