Twitter reacts to Kohli missing the ODI series versus South Africa

Twitter world has gone berserk after Virat decided to skip ODI's against SA. One fan stated that the ego of the players has become bigger than the needs of the Indian team, while another even tweeted that the legendary batter should retire from limited-overs cricket.

While yet another fan wants Virat to respect the game of cricket, another tweeted that Rohit and Kohli don't want to play under each other’s captaincy. Yet another fan also tweeted that it was unprofessional of Virat to skip the ODI series.

Below are some of the reactions from Twitter:

Highly disappointed that Virat is making himself unavailable for the ODI series against SA for his daughter’s birthday. If that’s so, I won’t defend him in any way. It’s highly unprofessional of him.
But I get a feeling there might be some other reason. #ViratKohli #IndvsSA

Are these two trying to avoid playing under each other's captaincy?

Earlier there was news about #RohitSharma that he was out of the Test series due to injury and now sources are saying that #ViratKohli will also be out of the One Day series.#IndvsSA #BCCI #TeamIndia @BCCI pic.twitter.com/iUnxMmuCHD
