Fans troll BCCI after captain goes 'missing' from Team India photo

ricket fans left no stone unturned in trolling the BCCI after the governing body posted a photo of Team India after their Annual Awards function without a key member of the side - captain Virat Kohli. On Sunday night in Mumbai, Indian cricketers including Kohli had gathered to attend the annual awards function along with the board president Sourav Ganguly.

But a photo posted by BCCI's official Twitter handle captioned: "#TeamIndia all smiles at #NAMAN" went viral after fans noticed that the hugely popular Indian captain was missing from the picture. Soon, memes and comments trolling Kohli's absence started flowing in:Nonetheless, the night was headlined by pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah lighting up the function, grabbing the prestigious Polly Umrigar award apart from annexing the Dilip Sardesai honour for his exploits in international cricket in the 2018-19 season.

Dilip Sardesai award is conferred on both the highest wicket-taker and highest run-getter in Test cricket. Bumrah took 34 wickets in six matches with three five-wicket hauls.

Prolific Saurashtra batsman Chetshwar Pujara was picked for the honour for scoring 677 runs in 8 matches at an average of 52.07 with three centuries and two half-centuries.

He picked up a five-wicket haul in South Africa, England, Australia and the West Indies, becoming the first and only Asian bowler to achieve the feat. He played a stellar role in the historic 2-1 Test series win in Australia, India's first Down Under and which helped them retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
