KL Rahul's remarks on David Warner's injury haven't gone down well with cricket fans as the Indian wicket-keeper faced a lot of criticism. Warner – who scored match-winning half-centuries in the first two ODIs – has been ruled out of the third ODI and following T20I series due to a groin injury. The southpaw sustained the wound while trying to stop the ball with a dive. Warner looked in severe pain as he was seen limping off to the ground. During the post-match press conference, India's vice-captain KL Rahul was asked to share his views on Warner's injury. On a lighter note, the 28-year-old said that it would be good for the Men in Blue if Warner remains out as the southpaw is in staggering form.

"We don't know how bad his injury is. It would be nicer if he gets injured for a long time. One of their main batsmen. It is not nice to wish it for anyone but it would be good for the team. If his injury takes a long time, it would be good for our team," Rahul had said in the virtual press conference. Although Rahul made the comments jokingly, his response didn't impress many fans who reminded the dasher about sportsmanship. Have a look at how they reacted!
