š” Fans Fume Over Iyer & Jaiswal Omission š¤
The cricket universe exploded when #ShreyasIyerĀ and #YashasviJaiswalĀ were notĀ picked š³. These two were top contenders, and everyone was like āBhaiya, kya ho gaya?ā š„ŗ.
š£ Twitter went wild with #JusticeForShreyas trending like crazy š¦.š£ Iyer fans screamed foul play, while Jaiswal stans were totally heartbroken š.
Even selectors were on backfoot š¬ saying, āItās not about performance. We had to make some tough calls.āĀ Hmm... sus vibes? š
š¤ Favoritism Charges Incoming šØ
Now hereās where the real masala begins šæ! Critics are calling out possible biasĀ in selections š¬.
š„ Why is Harshit Rana, a lesser-known pacer, suddenly in the squad?š„ How did Rinku SinghĀ ā more famous for IPL hits ā get picked over consistent performers like Iyer?
šļø Ex-player Abhishek Nayar hinted that some favours might be happening behind the scenes. Hmm... is this the Gautam Gambhir effect? Heās the new head coach, after all š¶āš«ļø.
The streets are saying this is more about "who you know" than "how you play" š¢. #TeamPolitics #FavoritismAlert
š¬ Experts Chipping In š¢
Cricket legends had mixed vibes:
š§ Harsha BhogleĀ appreciated the spin duo ā Kuldeep & Varun ā but said Gillās place might crowd the top order š .š„ Irfan PathanĀ called it the beginning of the Shubman Gill EraĀ and said this could be Indiaās T20 reboot moment š.
Some fans are still hopeful tho š¤š½. They think this mix of youth & experience might just be the magic formula āØ.
š MediaFx View: Kya Yeh Sach Mein āIndiaās Bestā? š§
From a peopleās point of view, this squad raises a big question ā is this really about cricketing merit?Ā š
š© When top-performing youngsters like Jaiswal and consistent batsmen like Iyer are dropped, while āinsidersā walk in, fans feel disconnected from the process š.
š© Cricket should be about talent, performanceĀ & equal opportunityĀ ā not favouritism or brand image šÆ.
š© As youth from rural India cheer for their heroes, they want a system thatās fair, transparentĀ and justĀ ā something every working-class fan deserves šš½ā¤ļø
