Ind vs NZ 3rd Test Day 5: Twitter hails Indian team, trolls injured Gautam Gambhir!
Oct 10, 2016 at 4:53 PM
It was a do or die situation for Gautam Gambhir, despite being injured, he dared to come out to bat, was looking good for first few deliveries but then again landed on the same shoulder adding to his injury woes. Only Gambhir is to be blamed for the injury as tried to steal a difficult second run, as a result, the situation asked him to dive and thus he dived landing on the same shoulder which was earlier injured.
It was probably the first and last time when Gambhir had to prove himself as now India team has 3 openers in sundries namely Shikhar Dhawan, Karun Nair and KL Rahul in the bank. Still, it is not sure that Gambhir will come out to bat or not and in case if misses another chance, then we may see Gambhir being dropped from the squad for the next series.
Twitter trolled Gambhir and hailed team India for a superb show on day 3 of the final Test match. Here are some best of the tweets to define the third day’s play of the third and final Test match –
No. of Tests to 20 five-wicket hauls:
Kapil – 98 Tests
Kumble – 75 Tests
Harbhajan – 59 Tests
Ashwin – 39 Tests#IndvsNZ

Virat Kohli Did Not Enforced Follow-on Because Haters Would Say He Didn’t Want Gautam Gambhir To Bat. š

So Gambhir is now injured? Still off the field after landing awkwardly on shoulder. This is proper lolz. #INDvNZ

I hope Gambhir’s career is not over with this injury. Hope he recovers quickly and be available for selection ahead of Eng series

India plays a test match, Ashwin gets five wickets. That’s pretty much the current scenario. ????
