"What is his fault? Because he wears yellow in IPL?"- Top 10 funny memes as BCCI announces Team India squad for 1st Test vs Bangladesh

On Sunday, September 8, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the Team India squad for the upcoming Test match against Bangladesh. There were not many surprises as the selectors backed the regular players to get the job done. After missing the previous series against England due to personal reasons, Virat Kohli returned to the squad.

Rishabh Pant made a comeback into the Test squad after a 20-month absence due to his accident. Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, and KS Bharat lost their spots in the squad after featuring in the English series. Senior players KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant replaced them. Mukesh Kumar made way for left-arm pacer Yash Dayal in the bowling department, who received his maiden Test call-up.

16-man squad for the first Test against Bangladesh:

Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Sarfaraz Khan, Rishabh Pant (WK), Dhruv Jurel (WK), R Ashwin, R Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Yash Dayal.

Fans were disappointed that the likes of Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer, and a few other promising players missed out on a spot in the squad. They took to social media platforms to express their reactions by sharing hilarious memes. Here is a collection of the best memes:
