Ever since Curran has joined the Chennai Super Kings, he has become the favourite target for all the memers and trollers on social media. The Northampton-born often trends on the microblogging site. Meanwhile, it is learned that Curran is a big fan of memes and likes sharing them. As Curran turns 23 years old, his IPL franchise, the Super Kings posted a hilarious video on their official Instagram handle.
In the video, the ace pacer Lungi Ngidi was involved in a rapid-fire round. During the interactive session, when the South African speedster was questioned regarding the player who comes to his mind when he hears the word memes, Ngidi took the name of the English all-rounder.
