Manchester, June 27 (IBNS): After Vijay Shankar and Kedar Jadhav were dismissed cheaply against West Indies here on Thursday, Twitterati arose to slam the Indian selectors for not including senior player Dinesh Karthik in the playing XI.

After Lokesh Rahul was dismissed scoring a handy 48, Shankar came out to bat but could score just 14 off 19 balls. Kedar Jadhav, who came out to bat ahead of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Hardik Pandya, was dismissed for just 7.

Twitterati react

One user tweeted, "Why are you not considering dinesh karthik to play in the team.. What politics happening there for selection.. Kedhar Jadhav and vijay shankar is not stable to play in the middle order.. Please take dinesk karthik and jadeja in the team.. bcci team please consider DK and RJ"
