Rishabh Pant was again left out of India's fourth T20 World Cup encounter against Bangladesh on Wednesday in Adelaide (November 2).
The team management decided to play veteran wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik, who was deemed fit after suffering a back spasm against South Africa last Sunday. Dinesh Karthik was forced to leave the field during the 16th over of the Proteas' innings on Sunday. Pant, who replaced him behind the wickets in the final five overs, was the favorite to replace the experienced cricketer against Shakib Al Hasan and company in the Men's World Cup group stage encounter.
Fans on Twitter were dissatisfied with his absence and expressed their frustration on the microblogging site.
Here are a few of the responses:
