Team India is currently facing Leicestershire in a four-day warm-up match ahead of their rescheduled fifth Test against England in Edgbaston, starting July 1st. 

They have displayed a decent performance in the first three days of the game. However, the tactics they have applied in the game have confused many. Rules of the game were modified according to will as India looked to give their batters all the chance to get acclimatized to England's conditions.

In India’s second innings, KS Bharat opened along with Shubman Gill. Then Hanuma Vihari, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shardul Thakur came to bat ahead of Virat Kohli.

Things got confusing when Cheteshwar Pujara, who was playing for Leicestershire, came to bat after the wicket of Thakur. After that Jadeja, who bagged a duck once, came to bat again and a similar thing happened again as Iyer also came out to bat twice. 

Twitterati was quick to react to the strangeness of the entire situation and here’s how they reacted.
