India's squad for Champions Trophy announced.

Quote

R. Sharma(C), S. Gill (VC), V. Kohli, S. Iyer, KL Rahul, H. Pandya, A. Patel, W. Sundar, K. Yadav, J. Bumrah, M. Shami, A. Singh, Y. Jaiswal, R. Pant, R. Jadeja

Surprisingly no Siraj, but IMO Arshdeep is worthy replacement, if not better altogether; doubt he'll get spot in playing XI though as Bumrah and Shami should take the precedent.

Playing XI would be thing see, how they gonna fit Jaiswal in there? Can't afford to sit him out and Gill being VC, unlikely to sit out either. Gill's form being questionable, I would have preferred Jaiswal over Gill otherwise.

Social media is mad for Sanju Samson not being there, but I am ok for him not getting spot.

Social media is mad for Samson and not for Nair? That's not fair. Nair scored 779 runs, at an average of 389.50 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. He almost singlehandedly took Vidarbha to the final. In case of Samson, he refused to represent Kerala at the VJT and that was given as one of the reasons for his omission. But Nair's omission proves that performing in VJT also doesn't matter much for team selection.
