The Indian team has already lost the first test match against South Africa but after the brilliant knock of Virat Kohli of 153 runs, Indian fans are highly hopeful that the visitors can win the second test match.
We all know that some changes were made in the Indian team for the second test match, such as Bhuvaneshwar Kumar was dropped for Ishant Sharma while Shikhar Dhawan made way for KL Rahul and Parthiv Patel was included in the team as Wriddhiman Saha was injured. Parthiv has been included in the Indian side after a long time and earlier also, he was never considered a good wicket-keeper, so questions were raised over his selection.
In the second innings of South Africa, Indian bowler Jasprit Bumrah took early wickets of Aiden Markram and Hashim Amla leaving visitors at 3/2 and it seem as if the South Africans will be in deep trouble. However, after AB de Villiers appeared on the crease, he made life tough for Indian bowlers but his partner Dean Alger was struggling a lot. After tea-break, Dean was a little confident in facing the Indian bowlers but then the game was interrupted by rain and thunderstorm.
When the game resumed, Dean Alger edged a delivery from Bumrah which went between wicketkeeper Patel and first slip fielder Pujara. It was undoubtedly a keeper’s catch but Parthiv Patel left it and also blamed Pujara for not taking the catch.
The anger on the face of Indian skipper Virat Kohli was quite visible and Twitter also trolled Parthiv Patel mercilessly for leaving the catch.

That student in our school:
Parthiv Patel is like that guy from school who used to fart in the class but always put blame on other innocent guys.

Disappointing:
If we lose this 2nd test #SAvIND, it's a hatrick for @parthiv9 to be held responsible and is clearly an apology for test cricket. Both @RaviShastriOfc and @imVkohli are responsible for poor selection of this cricket team.
