Karnataka all-rounder Stuart Binny’s selection in the 15-member team for the upcoming ICC World Cup 2015 raised a furore in the social media, with most fans being miffed over the snub given to India’s 2011 World Cup winning hero Yuvraj Singh.

Binny, though has been a consistent performer in the domestic circuit, he also happens to be the son of selector Roger Binny, who too played a crucial role as a bowler when India lifted the World Cup for the first time in 1983. Following the junior Binny’s selection, he has been scorned with numerous memes on social media.
