Kuldeep Yadav's dropping sends Twitter into 'disbelief'

Kuldeep Yadav (Source: AP Newsroom)

Right after his wonderful performance against the Bangladesh side in the first Test, Kuldeep Yadav was snubbed from the second. The leg-spinner was instrumental to India's chances as he grabbed 5 in the first and 3 wickets in the second innings to demolish his counterparts.

However, he was replaced by Jaydev Unadkat for which the management cited green top as the reason for the change.

This was a surprising move for many as he was expected to retain his place. This led to a host of reactions as Twitter went into 'disbelief'.

As is their wont, Kuldeep Yadav has been dropped yet again - this time after being man of the match last Test. Go figure #IndvsBan

Feel for Kuldeep Yadav. Took 8 wickets and scored the crucial 40 runs with the Man Of The Match award, but sits out in the very next match.

Kuldeep Yadav - the Player of the Match from Chattogram - isn't featuring in the XI. Triple centurion was dropped from the next Test. Taking hard calls isn't easy but not impossible. Performances > Personnel. Kuldeep looked in rhythm & deserved a consistent run

Why does this happen so often to Kuldeep Yadav? You can’t be doing this to him again and again. Please some one put an arm around his shoulder and tell him not to lose heart. Yes. It’s tough being Kuldeep Yadav. Spare a thought for him #DoddaMathu #CricketTwitter

Just woke up and found out India dropped Kuldeep Yadav after a match-winning performance in the last Test. How can you do that? Unbelievable. #BANvIND

Very disappointed with the handling of Kuldeep Yadav in the second innings Whoever thought on those lines of using him,leaves a lot to be desired. How will you develop spinners????

Rewarding domestic red ball performances is crucial. Congratulations to Jaydev Unadkat .. But really feel for Kuldeep Yadav. An extra seamer is understandable but to drop someone who’s put in such a strong show on comeback in the previous test.. Phew! #BanvInd
