The Indian cricket team decided to drop KL Rahul as Shubman Gill made his return to the playing XI for the second Test encounter against New Zealand in Pune.
Rahul has struggled for form in the past few matches and his poor show in the first Test in Bengaluru did not help his cause.
With Gill coming back after missing the first Test due to a stiff neck, the choice was always between Rahul and Sarfaraz Khan.
However, with Sarfaraz slamming an impressive 150 in Bengaluru, the team management decided to drop Rahul. The decision left the internet split with fans coming up with conflicting reactions to the development.
