India once again fielded five bowlers, including two debutants -- off-spinner Washington Sundar and pacer Thangarasu Natarajan -- in the fourth and final Test match of the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. But there was no place for Kuldeep Yadav, and fans have their say.

Kuldeep, 26, last played a Test match at Sydney against the Aussies in January 2019. In six matches, the Kanpur-born has taken 24 wickets, including two five-wicket hauls.
Harsha Bhogle, who's hosting the series for one of the official broadcasters, wondered "if India could have played Kuldeep Yadav for one of the quicks....."
And he was not the one. Here are some more reactions:
The series is level 1-1 after the draw at Sydney Cricket Ground. Australia won the opener at Adelaide Oval, and India won the second match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, an identical eight-wicket victory.
