‘Is this some kind of joke?’ exclaims Twitter after Iceland Cricket selects Kohli as the 12th man in India’s all-time Test XI

Iceland Cricket’s Twitter handle left Indian cricket fans fuming. They named former captain Virat Kohli as a 12th man in their all-time Test XI. Kohli has featured in 101 Tests for India and is the nation’s sixth-highest run-getter.

“Resuming our series on best ever XIs, today it’s the Indian Test team,” they said in a joint press release after naming an 18-man squad.

He had ended his tenure as fourth-most successful captain in Test history, recording 40 victories. Fans were not happy with Twitter handle naming Rahul Dravid as the new skipper.
