Twitter reacts to the surprise inclusion of Rohit Sharma and India's batting collapse

09/22/2016

India ended the day at 291/9 after the batting order barring Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara failed against brilliant bowling from the Kiwi spinners and Trent Boult. However, the day was marked by the surprise inclusion of Rohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav in the squad, and Twitter reacted to it.

That is SIR JADEJA for you!

New Zealand hasn't won a Test Match in India since Ravindra Jadeja was born (6th December 1988). #IndvNZ

Just 'Ravi' problems!

Ravi Shastri didn't comment watching Azhar and Ganguly. #indvsnz

Umesh Yadav's inclusion?

Not surprised since Kohli ko pace pasand hai.

True!

Why not pick Bhuvaneshwar instead of Rohit? Better at batting as well as bowling. #indvsnz

Nostalgic?

Indian crowd going wild at the sight of No.4 walking in, even though No.3's got out after a good knock. Some things won't change. #indvsnz

What a Man!

Sachin:- 'Don't bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours.'

Rohit:- 'Don't bowl him good ball, he gets out on the bad ones.'

Good old days!

Someone ask Dhoni to padup and come in to bat! #INDvNZ

Like when Chappell said you'll make 10k test runs, you are better than Kohli. And you proved him wrong. Much fun. https://t.co/KR1zzqo3iX

Too many 'Rohit'?
