"Justice served" - Top 10 funny memes as BCCI announces Indian Test, ODI and T20I squads for South Africa tour

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the Test, ODI, and T20I squads for India's upcoming tour of South Africa on Thursday, November 30.

Stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are back in the team for the two-match Test series on the South African tour. The Men in Blue will also play three ODIs and as many T20Is during their time in South Africa.

BCCI disclosed that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli requested for a break from the white-ball leg of the series, which is why they will only feature in the Test matches. Rohit will lead the team in the red ball games, while Suryakumar Yadav will continue to captain the T20 team.

In Rohit's absence, KL Rahul will captain the team in the three ODIs. After missing the 2023 World Cup, fan-favorite Sanju Samson has made a comeback into the ODI squad.

Veteran batters Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara failed to find a place in the Test squad as the selectors opted for youngsters. Rising stars like Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Yashasvi Jaiswal made the cut.

Indian cricket fans took note of the Indian squads for the South Africa tour and expressed their views by sharing memes on social media platforms.
