The second Test between India and Bangladesh began on Thursday, as the KL Rahul-led Indian team kicked off their final assignment of the year 2022. There was a surprising call made by the Indian skipper as Kuldeep Yadav was benched, in favour of Jaydev Unadkat, who played in his first Test match after 12 years.
As soon as Rahul announced his team, Twitter was flooded with reactions as fans felt bad for Kuldeep who made his comeback to the side after 22 months and won the Player of the Match award in the previous game. Not only did he pick up 8 wickets, he also scored 40 runs with the bat.
On the other hand, fans did congratulate Jaydev Unadkat for his second Test cap, which came after a long wait of 12 years. The veteran pacer performed admirably well for Saurashtra in their Vijay Hazare Trophy 2022 triumph and earned a call-up to the Indian side.

However, many users felt that it was unfair towards Kuldeep, the player who was easily one of the best for India in the previous Test.

Team India had earlier won the first Test in Chattogram by 188 runs after Kuldeep smashed his best-ever knock in Test cricket, partnering Ravichandran Ashwin to help India reach a fightworthy total in the first innings, before picking up a five-wicket spell afterwards with the ball.
Unadkat meanwhile has joined the Indian team recently, after continuing to lead Saurashtra brilliantly and his domestic performances prompted a return to the senior side.
