BCCI on Monday announced the list of players who will play the upcoming World Cup. The players selected are Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Vijay Shankar, MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh Kartik, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammad Shami.
After the announcement, social media started buzzing with congratulatory tweets on Twitter. However, some Twitterati were upset because wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant and middle-order bat Ambati Rayudu didn’t get a place. But most of them are happy and wishing the Men in Blue all the best for the World Cup.
Here are some tweets
Perfect team for #WorldCup2019 @BCCI

Why not Rishab pant he can play a crucial role in middle order 👌
Still if kohli is gone there is no one we can believe 100% except dhoni 😢#worldcup2019 #India #WorldCup2019— Adarsh K (@arsh200039) April 15, 2019
India might become a laughing stock at the world cup as they’ll be going without their ‘Pant’ 👖#WorldCup2019 #CWC19 #PunIntended

Selectors say, they selected Dinesh #Karthik because he is a better keeper but I think the reason he is selected because he is better finisher! #TeamIndia #pant #Rishbhpant #WorldCup2019

A player who just played 14 matches and scored mammoth runs(😂😂) 343 .. who continuously failed against new moving ball has been picked as a backup opener.

Good to see KL Rahul, Vijay Shankar and Dinesh Karthik made it… Yuvi and Pant missed out.. Pant has a long way to go, Karthik has experience and can handle playing in pressure.Overall a good squad.All the best to Team India 🇮🇳 #WC2019Squad #WorldCup2019 #worldcupsquad #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/MgPJJ1EeFb

I am a bit disappointed. Not because of no rayudu. He is never in my 11 anyway. I wanted Pant and Hardik to be our finishers. Hope vijay shankar fires.#CWC19 #WorldCup2019 #worldcupsquad
