Kuldeep Yadav's omission from the final T20I leaves Twitter bewildered

The ongoing T20I series between England and India is currently level at 1-1 and the final match is being played at the County Ground in Bristol. The Men in Blue started the tournament in a comprehensive manner with a thumping victory by eight wickets, owing to KL Rahul and Kuldeep Yadav’s brilliant performances in their respective departments. However, the Brits made a strong statement and made a stupendous comeback at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. Prior to the current match, the Blue Army suffered a massive blow as Bhuvneshwar Kumar was ruled out and Deepak Chahar made his T20I debut. Nevertheless, during the toss, Virat Kohli sprang a massive surprise when he mentioned that Kuldeep Yadav won’t be a part of the eleven. The surprise from Virat and Co. Siddarth Kaul, following the second T20I in Malahide, got his second opportunity in India’s tour of the United Kingdom (UK). The decision was a tad bewildering bearing in mind Kuldeep’s recent form. In the first match at the Old Trafford in Manchester, the chinaman ripped the heart out of the English batting in with a five-wicket haul. He was introduced in the middle-overs and he didn’t disappoint. He picked up the likes of Eoin Morgan, Joe Root and Jonathan Bairstow in his third over to set the cat among the pigeons in the English dugout. Such was his venom that the English team management was forced to bring forth a bowling machine by the name of ‘Merlyn’, which they once introduced to counter Shane Warne, in order to solve the 23-year old’s guile and trajectory. The tactic somewhat worked as the bowler conceded 34 runs in the next match in Cardiff and also didn’t pick up any wicket. Meanwhile, Twitter is highly dissatisfied with Kuldeep’s omission from the eleven Here is how Twitter reacted to Kuldeep’s omission Big call from India. They have dropped Kuldeep Yadav! Deepak Chahar to debut today. #EngvInd — Mazher Arshad (@MazherArshad) July 8, 2018 Kuldeep Yadav omission is baffling to say the least!

Kohli is anything but serious about winning this series #IndvsEng — Ashu (@ashu048) July 8, 2018 Why Kuldeep Yadav has been dropped? Why not Chhahal.See the statistics of last 20 matches and decide who deserves a place and who sd be dropped.Clear cut a biased decision by a short sighted Captain. — HiAshutosh (@helpfulashutosh) July 8, 2018 Isn't it foolishness to leave out #KuldeepYadav or prefer #Chahal over him in todays #INDvsENG match, who single handly wrapped #England team in 1st #T20I to win the match? Although good to see Deepak Chahar & #SiddharthKaul in today's match vs England in Bristol. #ENGvsIND pic.twitter.com/PirlAb7QWT — Sunil Sanjan (@sunilsanjan) July 8, 2018 One bad match and TaTa. In form Kuldeep yadav loses his place for deepak chahar.#INDvsENG — Crazy Guy (@crazycreature55) July 8, 2018 How do you undermine talent of an individual and rob him of an opportunity to showcase skill in difficult conditions? Kohli drops Kuldeep Yadav because "look, some grass!" #ENGvIND — Abhishek Baxi (@baxiabhishek) July 8, 2018 Why would you drop kuldeep yadav for shorter boundaries …he is clearly the X factor in this bowling line up #ENGvsIND #T20cricket #poorselection — Ketan (@Ketan87443094) July 8, 2018 Virat Kohli as captain sucks big time !! Open politics and biasedness for Chahal .. feel bad for Kuldeep Yadav !! — Funnily Serious (@notionalview) July 8, 2018 Why Kohli always prefers Chahal over Kuldeep Yadav is something I would never understand . That fella took 5 damn wickets in first match . He didn't deserve to get dropped after a single match failure.Virat is too insecure . — Manik Gupta (@ManikGup92) July 8, 2018 No Kuldeep Yadav in the decider. Thank you India. Thank you very much.#ENGvIND — Umesh Sigdel (@USigdel) July 8, 2018 So #kuldeepyadav after being the most dreaded bowler to face for the English batsman misses out!! What on Earth is going on??!!!!#Shocking #ENGvIND #TeamIndia #INDvsENG — Left Arm Chinaman (@imvmehta) July 8, 2018 4 seamers.. the experience of Bhuvi n bumrah will be missed in this game.. Kuldeep Yadav won the first game for India..and he is not playing today. Strange..!! Happy for both Deepak chahar and Sid kaul.. Good luck #TeamIndia #ENGvIND #Decider — Saurabh Tripathi (@BeingShubh55555) July 8, 2018 What??? Kuldeep Yadav left out for chahar? This is a spin friendly surface so you gotta play your spinner who went through this England side like a ripper!Isn't it just a surprise tactic to play 2 new seamers.. out of the syllabus questions? #India #INDvsENG #ENGvIND #ENG # — Varun Garg 🇮🇳 (@IamV_Garg) July 8, 2018
