"Hardik Pandya doesn’t like Mumbai Indians so he dropped him" - Fans react after Ishan Kishan gets dropped from playing XI for 3rd T20I vs WI

India's team management faced the wrath of fans for dropping Ishan Kishan from the playing XI for the third T20I against West Indies on Tuesday, August 8, in Guyana.In the must-win match, India handed a debut to Yashasvi Jaiswal at the expense of Ishan Kishan, who scored 27 runs in the previous match. West Indies captain won Rovman Powell won the toss and opted to bat first on a used pitch.Fans were not impressed with India's decision to drop Kishan for this contest as he has been in decent form on this tour. Kishan hit an aggressive half-century in the second Test. He then notched up a hat-trick of half-centuries in the three-match ODI series, where he was the top-scorer across both teams.Several Indian cricket fans online pointed that out. Some also said that if the management wanted to drop someone for Jaiswal, it should have been Shubman Gill, who has struggled for consistency on this tour. Here are some of the reactions from Twitter:User45@140off113@mufaddal_vohra Big loss for Team India, Ishan is a Talented fellow who can change or win the match single handedly for team india, just because our captain Hardik Pandya doesn’t like Mumbai Indians he dropped him. 🥲261@mufaddal_vohra Big loss for Team India, Ishan is a Talented fellow who can change or win the match single handedly for team india, just because our captain Hardik Pandya doesn’t like Mumbai Indians he dropped him. 🥲Karthik_493@Karthik63400624@mufaddal_vohra Ishan kishan is way much better than this overrated Gill.

In a video on his YouTube channel, Ashwin shed light on Kishan's journey so far in international cricket, saying:&quot;Ishan Kishan has been on the bench for so many years now. He scored a double hundred against Bangladesh in ODIs. He has performed well whenever he has gotten an opportunity. He will be in the squad, but won't be in the playing XI consistently. He is an outstanding guy. He is a jolly person, and will always be ready for anything.&quot;He added:&quot;Whenever Ishan has gotten opportunities in the white-ball formats, he has used them really well. Even in the last Test match when he got an opportunity to bat higher up the order, he score a quick-fire half-century. Ishan has been a wonderful kid.&quot;Do you agree with Ashwin's views?
