Team India made a shocking decision to bench captain Rohit Sharma in the fifth and final test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, throwing fans in disarray. While Rohit’s absence is officially being called “rest,” inside reports claim Gambhir pushed for his removal.
This is why, when the news broke yesterday, Rohit fans started targeting head coach Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli for this decision. They expressed their frustration and grievances online, with “RIP Gautam Gambhir” trending on X late last night.

Fans were appalled at how the side decided to sack the World Cup-winning captain who ended the ICC trophy drought for India last year. People called out how Kohli was constantly given second chances despite underperforming in the last 5 years but Rohit was shelved for failing in just one series.
This started some inner fandom wars between Kohli and Rohit fans. Each of them takes digs at each other calling the other toxic.

Nonetheless, the social media trend was really off-putting and the fans could have expressed their emotions in a better way. It was disheartening to see the supporters of the same cricket team fight among themselves.
