Shaw dropped Marnus Labuschagne who was batting on just 21 runs. India were on top as Bumrah sent openers back early putting pressure on Australia. Labuschagne was put down before Shaw's blunder, but this time Bumrah dropped him.

The Aussie went on to score 47 runs for the hosts and was eventually out after being trapped leg before by Umesh Yadav.
Twitter was flooded with memes as Shaw was brutally trolled for the second day in a row for different reasons.
At this rate Prithvi Shaw would be subbed off by a concussion sub. He surely needs a century if he wants to stay in the team.

While attempting Marnus Labuschagneâs catch it seemed as if Prithvi Shaw is in a park on a vacation. Prithvi over KL Rahul was sure to be a blunder #AUSvIND
