The day one of the first Test between India and New Zealand proved to test the nerves of the Indians at the Basin Reserve as the Kiwi bowling line up ripped apart the batting order of Virat Kohli and men. By lunch, the Indians had lost five wickets. But the inclusion of Rishabh Pant in the squad created a lot of debate amongst the netizens as an experienced player like Wriddhiman Saha was left out. The social media users lashed out at the Indian team management for making such a decision as they were quite disappointed with the decision.

Just up and see Saha is left out. We have just told every young keeper in India not to bother becoming the best in the world behind the stumps and instead focus on getting a few more runs in front of them. Disappointed.

Feel for Saha
I don't mind Rishab Pant over Saha in away Tests. His 'keeping is good enough, and in a Test, having a batter who can change the course of the match at no. 6 gives you more wins. Let's see how he goes
Feel for Saha, of course.

Pant over Saha?
#Pant was told that he was the first choice in limited overs and was dropped in space of 3 series.#Saha was told he was the red ball keeper and was dropped in space of 2 series.
The only reason why I wanted Saha to play. God save our players.
Pant over Saha 🤔

Didn’t see that coming
Probable scenario—5 batsmen plus Pant. And play Five bowlers.
Reality—6 batsman plus Pant and no Saha. Didn’t see that coming. #NZvInd

@SGanguly99 Really it is disappointed that saha is not included in playing 11.Selection will be always on merit and it should be depend on personal relation. I appeal BCCI to look into this matter. Saha is fully deserved to be part of playing 11 as far as considering his wkeeping

Ahead of the game, the BCCI had shared the picture of the green-top wicket and this had raised concerns for the netizens had raised their concerns for the Indian batting lineup. The fear of the Indian fans tuned true as none of the batsmen could survive for a long time.
