IND vs WI: Ruturaj Gaikwad trends on twitter, netizens unhappy with IPL star's exclusion

Netizens were not happy with Ruturaj Gaikwad's exclusion in the playing XI during the second T20I between India and West Indies. Gaikwad, who was included in India's T20I squad, started to trend on Twitter, as netizens complained about why the youngster was not given chances to play. 

The 25-year-old had a breakthrough year with his stunning performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) last year. Ruturaj scored 635 runs in 16 matches in IPL's previous edition, including one century and seven fifties as he helped Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to the title.

No disrespect to Ishan Kishan, but imagine if it was Ruturaj getting out on 35(42) and 2(10). Cricket Twitter would have gone crazy.
