India playing the first semifinal clash and it’s all going good for Men In Blue. New Zealand batting first after winning the toss are 130 for 2 in 34 overs.
After India announced the playing XI for the game against New Zealand at Old Trafford, many have been questioning the decision to leave out Mohammed Shami, who has been the leading wicket-taker for the side so far.
Like @SGanguly99, I admit I am surprised by the dropping of Shami. He takes wickets upfront and if you do, the death overs aren’t as critical. India batting very deep with Jadeja at 8 but it is a big call to leave out Kuldeep against a team he has done well.

Surprised by #TeamIndia selection, what else can a player ( #Shami) should do to represent his team 😒. @cricketaakash @vikrantgupta73 @sports_tak

Its #BhuvneshwerKumar V/S #Shami

Experts always say that that bowlers should go for Wicket

can anyone tell me why #shami is not playing today also…he is better bowler than bhuvneshwar kumar… why bcci is misusing and demotivating a perfect talent like mohammad shami #INDvNZ
— Rahul Bhardwaj (@rahulb724) July 9, 2019
Totally agree with @Sdoull – I’m stunned there’s no Shami for India.

What a bad decision to pick an expensive bowler like Chahal over Shami who has taken so many wickets #NZvIND
— Varun Krishnan (@varunkrish) July 9, 2019
Ary chacha … Gain some statz knowledge..shami had played 4 and got 14 .
If #shami would have Played all matches he would have been the highest wicket taker!
— ayan (@ayanbeatz) July 9, 2019
Lot of people asking why Bhuvi ahead of Shami… #ViratKohli didn’t pick only a fast bowler. Bhuvi offers a better all-round package.
Wrote for @cricket_country how this will impact #TeamIndia selection for #IndvNZ and it has. #CWC19 https://t.co/Gj3vYIVI48
