Just when the Indian fans were pinning hopes on the Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant to stabilise the rattling Indian side, the Chennai batsman made way to the pavilion courtesy India Jimmy Neesham’s stunning catch. Karthik got out after hitting a six as India is currently chasing a total of 239 runs. With this, the anger of fans was on the rise and they trolled him for getting out especially at the time when the team needed him the most.

The angry fans took to Twitter and posted nasty tweets and took a jibe at him. Matt Henry pitched the ball outside off and it was Neesham who pulled off a blinder to get that wicket as he jumped toward his left at the backward point and grabbed that one to take a one-handed catch. The scoreboard read 24/4 when Karthik was making his way back into the pavilion. Naturally, this did not go down well with the fans and they vented out their frustration on social media.

Zero contribution.
Dinesh Karthik's contribution to the India cricket team was 0 bun now I'm afraid it is negative and still we have him in our playing 11 ahead of jadhav who has done well for the team @IrfanPathan

As of now, we have Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya batting on the score of 23 and 11 respectively. India is currently struggling on the score of 49 and has lost four wickets. The fans must be hoping for these two batsmen to stick around and stabilise the Indian innings.
