As expected Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul faced the heat on Twitter after their dismal performance in the 4th Test against England at Southampton.
Pandya managed scores of 4 and 0, whereas KL Rahul got out at 19 and 0. Twitterati left no stone unturned in mocking these two cricketers. Some of the Indian fans made much rude comments while some subtly roasted them.
Here are the tweets:
Once upon a time India's No. 6 batsman was the legendary Laxman. Now, it is Hardik Pandya. This inglorious fall of the batting middle order is unacceptable. Bahut ho gaya nautanki!

During the post-match show on Day 4 of the Southampton Test, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar was also critical of Pandya, who failed to prove his potential on the big stage.
“You want to call Hardik Pandya an all-rounder? Whoever wants to call Pandya an all-rounder, may call! But I don’t think so,” Gavaskar had said.
