Triple centurion Karun Nair has had an ordinary series with the bat vs the Australians and it continued in Dharamsala where he was again dismissed for a paltry 5.

Nair's inclusion in the team despite his mediocre form has upset Twitterati who want him to be benched.

Nair has had a pretty ordinary run since scoring 303 from 565 balls with an impressive strike rate of 79.52 against England in the fifth Test in Chennai.

The 25-year-old Karnataka cricketer's scores since that 303 have been 26, 0, 23 and 5.

On Snday, with India perilously placed, Nair needed to build a partnership, but instead he departed to leave the team at 167/4. Nair tried to defend a Nathan Lyon delivery on the back foot. But the ball bounced and hit his glove and deflected off the thigh pad to short leg. Wicket-keeper Mathew Wade ran and took the catch to end Nair's innings.

Twitterati aren't known for their patience nor for their acumen, but for their spontaneous emotional response to a situation.

With the India missing it's batting mainstay Virat Kohli, cricket lovers were hoping for more solidity from the middle-order at series decider, but when they saw a batting collapse, they vented their frustration.
