Fans on Twitter react as Indian Cricket Team didn’t play Ishan Kishan in the dead rubber third ODI against Sri Lanka. They lashed out at the management for not giving him a chance after his double hundred and said that they should give their reserve player a chance on dead rubbers.
Ishan Kishan yet again fails to make cut the Indian XI for third ODI
India is currently taking on Sri Lanka in the dead rubber third ODI at Thiruvananthapuram. The Rohit Sharma-led side won the toss and decided to bat first. The hosts made two changes to the team bringing in Suryakumar Yadav and Washington Sundar in place of Hardik Pandya and Umran Malik, who have been rested.
It was expected that Kishan would be given a chance in the game, considering the dead rubber and KL Rahul not being part of the team for the next series. But this wasn’t the case as he yet again warmed the bench. The southpaw smashed a double century in the last ODI he played. He scored 212 runs and helped India win the game. However, despite him scoring a double ton, Shubman Gill was preferred over him.
Gill, notably, also has been scoring runs consistently at the top of the order. In the pre-match conference ahead of the series, skipper Rohit confirmed that they will give the right-hander a fair run to him for his performances.
While many were happy with the decision, they expected team management to adjust Ishan in some way in the team as he smashed a double century. Many wanted him to bat in the middle. But this wasn’t the case as KL Rahul has been preferred over him as the first-choice keeper.

An Ishan Kishan-like innings, probably a double-century, might see Rohit dropping Gill from the playing XI next match!

Why Ishan Kishan not in the team

No place for double centurian Ishan Kishan, in a dead rubber odi even… 😳
Giving opportunity to youngsters will definitely make selection woes in future.. Play safe 😂😂#INDvSL#BCCISelectionCommittee@bhogleharsha— aromalgopi (@go4aromal) January 15, 2023
KL Rahul kya kar raha hai Team mein ?? Why not ishan kishan

He won’t be fit by the World Cup. Ishan Kishan should play in the World Cup but it won’t happen. Kl Rahul will keep statpadding in bilaterals

#whynotIshankishan Why Ishan Kishan is not given chance to play in One day even after hitting double century against Bangladesh. K L Rahul is being given chance even after his continuous failure. Best Players should be given chance to play. There is some strong backing behind KL

#India should have try @ishankishan51 in place of @klrahul

Ishan Kishan should have had a go in the 3rd ODI. His last odi score is 210 and in a dead rubber like this, before the world cup, You need to give your reserve player some game time.
Poor move by Team Think Tank.

You need to be an X factor player if you want to jump the queue. Like Umran Malik, SKY, Jagadeesan, Prithvi Shaw and Ishan Kishan.
