Fans enraged by Shami’s neglect

Regarding this, questions have been continuously raised on the selection of Team India, many former cricketers also believe that Shami should now get a chance in Team India. Team India’s former spin bowler Harbhajan Singh raised questions on Team India’s selection and said, “Where is Mohammed Shami, I don’t know why he is not getting a chance? Team India has the famous Krishna, he is a very good bowler, but he still has a lot to learn. You had great bowlers, but you are slowly ousting them.”

Commenting on social media, a user wrote, “May God give wisdom to our coaches and selectors.. They are losing gold in the pursuit of bronze.. Prasidh Krishna is not even 1% equal to Shami. Shami has won so many matches for India on his own.. How can you forget your match winner..”

Another user wrote, “But brother Gambhir likes the famous Krishna, even if Shami takes 10 wickets, only a player like Harshit Rana will get a chance.” Another user wrote, “Shami is back and is destroying the batsmen like it’s 2019 again. 4/13 in SMAT? This is not a spell, but a demolition derby. Selectors, take note! This is the kind of bowling India needed in tomorrow’s playing XI!”
