Twitter goes mad after Virat Kohli drops Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the 2nd Test against South Africa

After the humiliating defeat in the first Test, world number one India will be desperate to bounce back in the ongoing second game.

Unlike the pace bowlers, it was an outing to forget for the Indian batsmen as they failed to deliver in either of the innings in Capetown. With the series on the line, the visitors will be eyeing an improved show in Centurion.

After South Africa captain won the toss and decided to bat first in the second Test at the SuperSport Park, India skipper Virat Kohli named the three changes to the side that lost the first Test by bringing in KL Rahul, Parthiv Patel and Ishant Sharma in place of Shikhar Dhawan, Wriddhiman Saha and Bhuvneshwar Kumar respectively.

But, Kohli’s decision of dropping in-form Bhuvneshwar Kumar was not liked by the Indian fans and they slammed the skipper and head coach Ravi Shastri for their team selection.

Here’s are some of the Twitter reactions:
