Social media account of New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson was bombarded with hateful comments by Indian fans after he took five wicket haul including the wicket of Indian team captain Virat Kohli in World Test Championship (WTC) finals.
Jamieson has picked 14 wickets across five Test innings against India and clearly, the Indian fans weren’t happy with his latest haul.
Some of the Indian fans hurled unpalatable abuses at Jamieson on Twitter, and Instagram, questioning his place — by implying he is ungrateful — at the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) which is led by Kohli.

Jamieson, who was bought by the RCB for Rs 15 crore, has had a stellar start to his Test career. He has picked 44 Test wickets already, and he is only into his eighth Test.
We didn’t start really well. We thought we fought back towards the latter part of the [second] day. [On Sunday morning] we talked about discipline and what we wanted to achieve. I guess it was good to be able to that,” said Jamieson after the third day’s play.
“It is not my natural length (with the one he got Kohli out leg before)… I felt that whilst I felt good [on Saturday], probably my body was tentative and brought my lengths back. While on Sunday I found a lot more freer and was able to bring that length more fuller, tried to wobble the ball a little bit. It paid off today,” he said.
Jamieson said that the bowling unit would accept any sizeable lead with glee.
“Hopefully, we can get 50, 100, 150 [run lead]. As a bowling unit we will take what we get really,” he said.
