Team India took a rather shocking decision to drop Kuldeep Yadav from the playing XI for the ongoing second Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur. Kuldeep, who had returned to the Test team after a long gap during the series-opener in Chattogram, was dropped from the team to make way for Jaydev Unadkat, who returned to the playing XI after a 12-year hiatus. Notably, Kuldeep had bagged eight wickets in the first Test, including a five-for in the first innings. Netizens, however, weren't too pleased with the decision to drop Kuldeep from the playing XI.
Here's how Twitter reacted:
Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bat against India in the second Test in Mirpur.
At the toss, India stand-in captain KL Rahul explained why Kuldeep was dropped from the playing XI.
"Hard decision on Kuldeep but we know Ashwin and Axar can find spin, and bring Jaydev in to cover all bases," Rahul said at the toss.
