After Dhoni stepped down, Virat Kohli leading the team, BCCI selected the team for the ODI’s, T20I’s and warm-up matches against England. There were few surprising inclusions in the new squad. Yuvraj Singh made his comeback in the ODI squad after 3 years. Ashish Nehra and Rishabh Pant also got a place in the T20I squad.
MS fans trolled Yograj Singh after Yuvi coming back to the ODI and T20I squad when Dhoni stepped down from the captaincy. Everyone is happy with Yuvraj coming back to the team but there is one person who is not happy. Harbhajan Singh didn’t look too happy with the team and questioned selectors.
Karun Nair, who recently became only the second Indian to score a triple century in Test matches, wasn’t named in India’s ODI as well as T20I squad. Harbhajan Singh was furious over the selectors for not selecting Karun Nair, as he scored a 300 recently in the test series. He later deleted the tweet.
In his tweet, Bhajji said, “Hello guys Wher is Karun Nair?? Who just scored 300 vs England..he isn’t part of even practice games against Eng. Forget ODI. Wah kamal hai.”
Bhajji, however, deleted the post about Karun Nair from his Twitter handle in a minute or so. The deletion is understandable given Harbhajan has been involved in so many controversies of late.
