Memes Galore On Social Media As KL Rahul Gets Dropped From India's Playing XI For 3rd Test

Young opening batter Shubman Gill got his much-deserved place in India's playing XI as the team management decided to drop out of form batter KL Rahul from the team for the ongoing third Test against Australia at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Rahul, who managed score of 20, 17 and 1 in the three innings so far, has been under the scanner for his low returns with the bat. Rahul's exclusion from the team sparked a meme fest on social media as fans took to Twitter to address the issue.

Here's how Twitter reacted:

After announcing India's playing XI, India captain Rohit did not reveal the reason behind Rahul's exclusion.

"We will have a bat first. It is a pretty good dressing room and like you said the morale is high. The guys are confident about their skills which is a good thing moving forward. We have played a lot of cricket (here) but this one (surface) is slightly different. Looks little dry and you have to adapt your skills and be at it all the time. We are there yet (WTC final) and we have to come and win this game, we have to try and repeat the things we did in the first two Tests. It is important to stay present. We have made two changes - Gill has come in place of KL. We have rested Shami, Umesh
