Twitter explodes as Sourav Ganguly sparks debate post Shubman Gill and Ajinkya Rahane's exclusion
Sourav Ganguly expressed his disappointment over the exclusion of Ajinkya Rahane and Shubman Gill for the upcoming ODI series against WI. Dada took to his Twitter handle and questioned the selection committee as to why only few players were playing all 3 formats, and Twiiterati reacted on the same.
An opinion that matters a lot!!
Time has come for indian selectors to pick same players in all formats of the game for rhythm and confidence.. too few are playing in all formats ..great teams had consistent players ..it’s not about making all happy but picking the best for the country and be consistent..@bcci

More misery!
There are many in the squad who can play all formats ..surprised not to see shubman gill ..Rahane in the one day squad..

It's very unfair!! A player like Shubman Gill has all the potential to be in the squad
It was a big disappointment for me too. Gill is the one to start grooming for No. 4. https://t.co/CBlAvASMUW

Rahane can surely give his best in ODIs
Dropping Rahane cost India the World Cup.. He is surely a class who deserves to be in ODI if not T20...

Not sure of No.4, but maybe he could have found a place somewhere in the ODI team!
Absolutely true!!! Rahane must be given chance in One Day!!! He is ideal player for No - 4 position..👍👍

What does this mean?
It's big 2019 and people still want Ajinkya Rahane in the ODI team.

Time to give a chance to youngsters!!
Agree with many things you say Sir,,
— Harshit Kumar (@Er_kumarharshit) July 24, 2019
But I don't agree with Rahane,,he is in pathetic form from last 3 years,,
Didn't scored a 💯 in Tests from September 2016,,
Just look at his scores in County this season,,
All are in single digit,,
It's time for youngsters like Ruturaj Gaikwad
Have the selectors completely ignored Rahane?!
The Unsung No.4 of Indian ODI team. There is no better partnership than Kohli and Rahane.

Proved himself several times.
But Mada Sambirani Kirukku (MSK) Prasad ruined Rahane's wonderful ODI career. https://t.co/BBPPTnn3ap
It seems like pure politics!!
It has already ended, he is the most successful overseas player, still didn't get selected for CWC19. Idiots like V Shankar were chosen.#Rahane

Rahane has not been in the best of form for the last 3 years!!
Why not Rahane can play sat no 4?? besides trying these rahul, iyer?

Rahane can play in tests but can't play in odis
This is what @BCCI thinks...
absolutely ridiculous #INDvWI
Rahane has got no luck!!
Some players r unlucky coz captain don't like them for watever reason,
— Arun Bhandari (@Believe_INKarma) July 24, 2019
Rahane is exception, He has not been liked by 2 successive captains, Dhoni n now Kohli..
Such a talent out of the team has no other explanation..
Selectors should think of this!!
Dada how rahul is getting selected even his recent failures in all 3 formats on foreign soil.... Need to give chance to rahane and younger players

Sadly Rahane's career has taken a downward spiral!
Disappointing that players of Rahane's stature can't find a permanent place in Indian team. He's a class player, sad to see him struggle, & no place in world cup 🤔
— Lakhbir Singh Virk (@laksvirk) July 24, 2019
More support coming in for Rahane!
I think Rahane should be in world cup 2019 squad & he was right candidate for No.4 slot but there are politics in selection committee too.
— Mohammad Kaif🇮🇮 (@mdnooreain18) July 24, 2019
Selection committee failed in their experiment with Vijay Shankar in WC19!!
Rahane shown the doors, Rayudu was given a snub ... Shubman Gill not selected !

Selection committee playing with careers !
