IND vs WI: Fans Slam Suryakumar Yadav For Calling Kuldeep Yadav 'Kachra'

Suryakumar Yadav has been facing severe criticism for his poor performance in the ODI format. While the right-handed batsman has hit the ground running in T20Is, his indifferent display in the 50-over format has surprised many.

The world number one T20I batsman has continued to struggle in the ODIs and his performance in the first two games of the ongoing series against West Indies has further dented his reputation. With the ICC World Cup to take place this year, the team management has been giving him a consistent run in the ODIs since the start of the year.

However, the Mumbai star has failed to justify the faith shown in him by the team management so far. In 9 games this year, he has managed to score only 92 runs at an average of 11.50 and a highest score of 31. During the three-match home series against Australia in March, he was out for a duck in each of the three games.

Suryakumar Yadav had the chance to impress the selectors and the team management in the ongoing series against West Indies but he has already wasted two opportunities. In the first ODI, he was out for 19 before being dismissed for 24 in the second innings.

Fans slam Suryakumar Yadav:

As if performing poorly with the bat was not enough, Suryakumar Yadav has found himself in the firing line of the fans for making a comment about Kuldeep Yadav during the second ODI. The incident took place during the 29th over of the West Indies chase.

As Kuldeep Yadav was bowling his seventh over, Suryakumar Yadav decided to motivate the spinner in a bizarre manner. The star batsman, who was stationed at covers, was heard telling Kuldeep Yadav: ‘Tu hi hai hamara Kachra hai’, referring to one of the characters from the Bollywood movie Lagaan. While the comment did leave a few fans smiles, few were not at all impressed with it.

Here are some of the reactions:

Didn't like the way Ishan Kishan or SKY called Kuldeep Yadav 'Tu mera Kachra hay' and were laughing around when their team was losing. We know how Kachra was looked down on in that movie Lagaan and how his teammates didn't want to play with him because of his rank/caste. Kachra… pic.twitter.com/mZan4Bt5mt

"Aap ne pehle hi itna kachra kar diya, ab mere liye kya bacha hai karne ko!!", replied Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep replied – Sahi kaha maine bhi hat-trick li hai kachra ki tarah. Par batting section mei team ka kachra tu hai. Sirf ek difference hai vo final match mei out nhi hua tha. Kher jaane de ?
