Twitter reacts to Rahul's love affair with injuries and Kohli's love for team changes
England ended the day1 of the third Test at 268/8 thanks to some brilliant lower-order batting led by Jonny Bairstow. The things which made news though among Twitterati were Karun Nair replacing KL Rahul and Virat Kohli's love affair with team changes and Ashwin's poor fielding.
Still don't know why he was picked!

The irony being the gap between the both is 14 years!

Parthiv Patel's 50th dismissal in Tests also England opening Batsman
Some people do bark like these!
Ashwin dropped Cook, so he can get him in his bowling. OMG so selfish, dhoni agent. #IndvENG

Took some time to get the joke, but neverthless a good one!
India dropping too many catches these days and in other news Anurag Thakur promoted Pakistan's PSL. Just saying.😉

Kohliand his love for team changes!
Rahane is the only player who has appeared in each of the 20 Tests captained by Kohli; Ashwin 19, Saha 18, Vijay 16, Pujara 15. #IndvsEng

One name. Two completely different stories.
KL Rahul has already missed more matches than Rahul Dravid did in his entire career. #Unfortunate #Injuries #INDvENG

Haha! Good one!
Ashwin and Jadeja drop catches off the fast bowlers.

Greedy.
They're just trying to keep more wickets for themselves to take.
He does look younger than Karun Nair though!
Like Karun Nair We Can Say Parthiv Patel also Made His Debut Today 😂 #IndvsEng #INDvENG #PlayHard

Hope India doesn't falter tomorrow!
Peril of going in without a 3rd opener. But not as critical as it would be if overseas. India need to ensure Kohli isn't in early

Hope they do take wickets!
Ashwin And #SirJadeja Don't Take Catches, They Take Wickets. _/\_#INDvENG #INDvsENG #Jadeja

True that!
Demonitization rules changing as frequently as Kohli's team composition in test matches.

A very wrong third umpire!
Is it allowed to review Dharmasena's decisions when he's the 3rd umpire? #DRS
