Twitterati slam Shikhar Dhawan's selection in the Indian team for the second Test against New Zealand.
Updated : Sep 30, 2017, 09:51 AM IST
The second Test between India and New Zealand at Eden Gardens in Kolkata was poised to be veteran left-hander, Gautam Gambhir's comeback match but his Delhi mate Shikhar Dhawan got the nod to resurrect his faltering Test career. And then he failed by chopping a Matt Henry delivery onto his stumps to depart after making just one run. Twitter went mad after the dismissal and while some made fun of Dhawan, others vented their anger on Indian skipper Virat Kohli for selecting the Sunrisers Hyderabad player.
Gambhir selected in the team but not in the playing eleven for out of form Shikhar Dhawan?

Kohli seriously did a surgical strike on Gambhir!
Selecting Shikhar Dhawan in place of Gautam Gambhir is like selecting Bangla Desh for honeyMoon in place of Switzerland
