6 selection blunders by Virat Kohli in South Africa, England and Australia which cost India dearly

1# Dropping Bhuvneshwar Kumar from the second Test in South Africa

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Even after picking up 6 wickets in the first Test of the South African tour, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was dropped from the squad for the second Test in South Africa. Not only did he pick up six wickets during the first Test, but he looked the most potent bowler as well. Apart from his bowling, Bhuvneshwar did an admirable job with the bat as well.

In fact, over the period of the last few years, he has been the only lower order batsman from India to put up any kind of resistance on overseas tours. He has played some important knocks for India in the lower order.

He was brought back into the squad for the third Test where he picked up four crucial wickets apart from scoring 63 important runs in a low scoring thriller. After being dropped from the second Test squad, Bhuvneshwar played an important part in India's win in the third Test, which again raised questions about Kohli's selection policies.
