India batter KL Rahul has finally been dropped after a lean patch in Test cricket. The Indian batter, who maintained an average of 12.50 in his last 10 Test innings, was facing severe criticism across social media platforms for having a bad performance on the pitch.
KL Rahul dropped
India have won the toss in Indore and chose to bat first in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Indian former vice-captain KL Rahul was dropped with Shubman Gill coming into the playing XI. India made one more change as Umesh Yadav replaced Mohammed Shami. As soon as Rohit Sharma announced the team at the toss, fans took over social media, sharing hilarious memes.
A large majority of tweets are around former India fast bowler Venkatesh Prasad – a vocal and unapologetic critic of Rahul in spite of also belonging to Karnataka. Prasad, in fact, also engaged in a verbal war with former India batter Aakash Chopra due to a difference of opinion on Rahul’s spot in the Indian team.
