FUMING IN: Twitter raging out at in-form star’s exclusion from the Squad for Sydney test

BCCI on Wednesday announced the 13 members Indian squad for the fourth and the final test match to be played at the SCG starting from Thursday. The announcement, however, brought forth a number of major surprises. The test series currently stands at 2-1 in favor of the visiting side, who look well set to clinch their first ever bilateral series victory on Australian soil in this ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Ravichandran Ashwin, who was earlier ruled out of a place in the final XI after he failed to clear the fitness test on Wednesday had been retained in the 13 man squad, it looks like as if the Team Management is willing to give him a chance to prove his fitness till the very last. It was a complete U-turn from the Indian team management so seem to have seem to have agreed upon taking a call on his fitness only ahead of toss on Day 1 of the test match.  Ashwin earlier suffered an abdominal strain in the series opener at Adelaide which sidelined him for the next two matches. His availability still remains a doubt with only a day left before the New Year’s test match at Sydney starting this Thursday.
The most baffling subject of the squad announcement was the exclusion of veteran pacer Ishant Sharma, who was a part of the playing XI for India in all the three matches played in the series so far. Umesh Yadav, who was a part of the playing XI in the Perth test match but was left out of the last test match at Melbourne has been named in the squad. Umesh is expected to fill the role of the third pacer in the side in place of the side in absence of Ishant.
The exclusion of Delhi pacer has left fans fuming on social media. While some Twitter users were completely surprised by the team management’s selection decisions, others expressed their disappointment over the matter.

Was Ishant carrying an injury? Why drop him otherwise??

 And if he's dropped, I'd rather have had Hardik in the team, not Umesh, tbh. :|

Mr X@halfvolleys
Surprised to see Pandya missing. Ishant ran out of gas after 3 tests perhaps, he's the oldest pacer in the pack. Return of KL will mean Vihari back at 6 which is fair. If Ash isnt 100% on match day, then it shouldn't be risked and Kuldeep should get in.

BREAKING: Umpire Richard Kettleborough takes the ball from Virat Kohli as he tries to juggle it   The fourth and the final test match between India and Australia is underway at the SCG. The opening day of the test match certainly belonged to the visitors, who finished with a total of 303/4 on the board on the back of a splendid knock from Cheteshwar Pujara who went on to register his 18th test century and 3rd of the series settles at 130 not out. Skipper Virat Kohli, as usual, was pumped up as ever as he made his way to the middle at the start of the third session of the day’s play way before the Aussies took the field. Kohli, who still had a handful of time on his hands took the ball in his hand and started juggling it with his bat. Umpire Richard Kettleborough, who had already made his way to the center and was standing right beside Kohli, wasn’t at all impressed with what Kohli was doing and decided to snatch the ball from his hands. The umpire might h...
