Social Humour: Memes explode as both Kohli and Rohit won’t play together in SA

DISCLAIMER: This is a compilation of humor being shared by netizens around the world. Times of India neither condones nor endorses any of the views shared in this article here. The subject matter is intended purely as satire.
India's red-ball captain Virat Kohli will not play the One-day International series in South Africa while white-ball captain Rohit Sharma will be unavailable for the Test series. Kohli is the Test captain and

Rohit

is India's newly-appointed white-ball skipper.

Their being unavailable for the respective formats has nothing to do with the ongoing controversy related to the Team India white-ball captaincy changing hands.



Kohli had informed the Indian cricket board (BCCI) in advance that he would take a break in early January. Since the ODI series coincides with the first birthday of his daughter, Kohli had communicated that he could not participate in it.

Sharma, meanwhile, has been ruled out because of a hamstring injury. Luckily, the injury is not a tear and therefore the opener is expected to be available in three weeks' time to lead the white-ball team.

However, cricket fans on Twitter sensed something amiss, in the way events unfolded. Many of them posted memes to express their thoughts.
