"Missed You": Internet Wants Two Forgotten Stars To Return For Team India After Series Loss vs New Zealand

India were completely outplayed by New Zealand in the recently concluded Test series as the Rohit Sharma-led side suffered a 0-3 whitewash on Sunday. The Indian batters faced tremendous criticism from fans as well as experts with their struggles against spin bowling becoming a major point of discussion. With India taking on Australia in the upcoming five-match Test series, social media users believe that Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane should make their comeback to the national side. Both Pujara and Rahane have enjoyed a good run of form in Australia and many fans believe that they can provide the much-needed solidity to the struggling Indian batting line-up.

We missed you both Pujara and Rahane

India's former cricketers fell into stunned silence in the immediate aftermath of the unmitigated disaster against New Zealand here on Sunday. But once they have gathered their thoughts, they pulled no punches while reviewing the team's debacle.

The likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh called for "introspection", urged the team management to stop "needless experimentation" in the Test format and start playing on better pitches.

If you remove those 186 runs Virat's average will go below 29. But in our country the weak are attacked, Ajinkya Rahane and Pujara were weak so they were removed.#INDvNZ
