The BCCI on Tuesday (November 22) made just one change in India squad by dropping the 34-year-old batsman for the remainder of the Test series.

Bhuvneshwar, who is making a comeback from an injury, has been inducted into the 16-member India squad.

Moments after veteran cricketer was snubbed by the BCCI, his supporters and fans criticised India's Test skipper Virat Kohli for Gambhir's outster.

The left-handed batsman failed to perform in the first Test match at Rajkot and his ouster from the squad was evident with the fact when he was asked to play for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy.

This is how Gambhir's supporters expressed their displeasure over his ouster:
