Shocking that Binny is Dropped for #IndVsNZ squad. More Shocking is why he was picked in #IndVsWI squad ? ?

#BringBackGautam campaign goes in vain as BCCI name expected 15-men squad, ignoring Shardul and Binny who went to West Indies. #INDvsNZ

No outrage by Bring Back fans on #IndVsNZ test squad selection. I think this series is unsuccessful already.

Virat is the same old wine in a new bottle. The only difference is that he performs exceptionally well! #IndvsNZ

@BCCI @GautamGambhir deserves to be in the squad….what else he has to do to be in the Indian team #IndvsNZ

India should definitely have Harbhajan and Kuldeep in the squad for the series against England to keep them guessing!

No surprises in India’s Test squad. Proven spin trio, turning tracks expected. No need for two seam-bowling options. Three openers. #INDvNZ
