#BoycottIPL trends on Twitter as India on brink of Asia Cup ouster

Almost a year after Team India crashed out of the T20 World Cup, the men-in-blue could do nothing more than staring at an ouster from the Asia Cup 2022 losing two consecutive Super Four matches in the mega tournament.

In a crucial match after losing to Pakistan Sunday night, Rohit Sharma-led India were Tuesday outsmarted by resurgent Sri Lanka, who registered a six-wicket victory in Dubai toying with the opponent's inexperienced bowling lineup.

Ahead of the next T20 World Cup due to be played later this year, the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) has been blamed by a section of netizens for Team India's Asia Cup debacle.

One Omkar Upadhyay tweeted, "#boycottipl India needs a w&k like dhoni #RishabhPant #INDvSL #arshdeepsingh #Dhoni."
