Fans Slam BCCI for not Including Gautam Gambhir in Duleep Trophy Squads 1

The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) decision to not include Gautam Gambhir in any of the three squads for the upcoming Duleep Trophy has not only baffled many, but has also infuriated the Gambhir fans.

Currently out of the Indian team, Gambhir had led India Blue to the title in the last edition of the Duleep Trophy but has been a surprise omission for the upcoming edition.

What is even more surprising is that Gambhir looked in Team India’s scheme of things after being recalled in the Test team last year. He even pressed his claim for a recall with a strong showing in this year’s Indian Premier League, scoring 425 runs at an impressive average of over 47.

However, the selectors have given the likes of Ambati Rayudu, Ashok Dinda, Manoj Tiwary a chance to revive their India career, the Delhi star has been snubbed. In all possibility, the latest setback is a big indication that Gambhir’s international career is as good as over, and the fans are not pleased with as they took to Twitter to express their disappointment.

Here are some of the reactions:
