The BCCI selection committee on Sunday, 21 July 2019, announced the Team India squad for the upcoming West Indies tour. The announcement saw the comeback of Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, and Wriddhiman Saha, Washington Sundar into the fold; while Dinesh Karthik was dropped from the ODI squad.

Rahul Chahar and Navdeep Saini were the new faces in the limited-overs squad along with Khaleel Ahmed coming back into the team after missing the train for the World Cup. However, a big shock was the omission of Shubman Gill from any of the teams for the West Indies tour. The 19-year old has been in good form of late, hitting two half-centuries in the ongoing India A’s tour of West Indies. Gill has scored 149 runs from three innings at an average of 49.67 in the five-match series so far.

Gill had made his ODI debut against New Zealand, but MSK Prasad revealed that he has been placed on the waiting list. This news, however, didn’t go down well with the Indian team fans on Twitter. They were not happy seeing Kedar Jadhav being picked in the team over the young Gill, given that Jadhav's performances in the World Cup were not impressive.

They decided to rage on the social media platform and we have some of the best tweets for you.
