Cuttack, December 22: As India players Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant dropped catches against West Indies batsmen in the third and final ODI here on Sunday, cricket fans on Twitter erupted in anger. Rishab Pant trended on Twitter as his fans supported him while others questioned the wicketkeeper's inclusion in the team. Reacting to a dropped catch of Shimron Hetmyer behind the stumps by Pant, one cricket fan wrote: "Are we still planning to retain Pant? How many times will we see the same picture of catch dropped behind the wickets? So many talented wicketkeeper are in the list, but Pant?" India Vs West Indies, Cricket Score 3rd ODI Match.
One user wrote: "Bring Dhoni... Go away Pant."One fan however came in support of the wicketkeeper: "Stupid fans again targeted Pant for dropped catch behind the stumps but they are not gonna talk about Jadeja who also dropped a catch. Not gonna talk about the fans who are chanting Dhoni Dhoni. The point is criticise every player who drops a catch but don't go after only one player."
