It has been a day of a roller-coaster ride for cricket fans in India as news of former cricketer, Ravi Shastri’s appointment as the team coach did rounds. Later, the BCCI denied appointing Shastri as Anil Kumble’s successor.
Amidst all this chaos, social media users reacted to the situation in their own unique ways.
While some people seemed to take a hilarious take at the prevailing situation, some lashed out at Shastri’s appointment and labelled it corrupt. Shastri had been in the good books with the India skipper, Virat Kohli, and was the first choice of the cricketers.
Twitter was flooded with a number of tweets- some sarcastic, some hilarious and some serious.
Right now Indian Team's Coach selection looks more interesting than #GOT

A domino effect. Some impatient media person started the spark and now the whole jungle is on fire. #IndianCoach

Seems like there was more co-ordination between Kohli and Kumble than among CAC, CoA and BCCI … what a mess !!! #IndianCoach

Ravi Shastri new coach. Virat gets what he wants. BCCI and CAC dancing to the tunes of egoistic captain. Can happen only in India
