Ind vs Eng 2nd ODI: Fans call Rohit Sharma ‘selfish’ for making Yashasvi Jaiswal ‘scapegoat’

Aggressive batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal was dropped from the Team India playing XI for the second ODI match against England at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Sunday. Jaiswal was dropped to make way for veteran batter Virat Kohli.

However, following the development, Team India captain Rohit Sharma had to face the wrath of fans over various social media platforms.

After Jaiswal was dropped, Rohit was savaged on social media for making Jaiswal the ‘scapegoat’ as fans served a sharp reminder to the captain on his own form.

“Biggest Problem Pata Hai Kya Hai? Jab Jaiswal Ko Debut Kyu karwaya agar drop hi karna tha toh? Secondly Pant Ko kyu nhi khilaya jais ki jagah, tumne bechare Jaiswal Ka ODI debut karwa diya mazak mazak me aur agel me drop bande ke saath literally mazak kar rhe hai ye. #INDvsENG,” wrote a fan on social media account X (earlier known as Twitter).

“Soch m Moch iyer ne Acha kiya 1st OdI ke baad sab Bol Diya🔥 ROHIT GILL open. Virat at 3. Iyer at 4. (Ab Left Right kha Gaya) 1st Odi mein Kyu nahi Jaiswal ko 3 khilaya? 2nd Odi m Gill ka number change ho gaya, Jaiswal ke sath mzaak kiya, Iyer ne Khud Jagah ban Li hai,” wrote another fan.
