“One of the stupid decisions”- India drops Dinesh Karthik; makes Twitterati unhappy

I’m quite sure Babar said tails and it landed as a Head still Pakistan won the toss.

Pretty harsh on Dinesh Karthik but with Ravindra Jadeja missing out and no Axar Patel in the XI, India had to go with Rishabh Pant as the left-handed batter in the middle overs. Also, love Ravi Bishnoi's inclusion. #INDvPAK #AsiaCup2022

Okay. So #dineshkarthik were preferred over Rishabh Pant in the first match against Pakistan. He faced just one delivery in the last two matches. Then he suddenly gets dropped. And that’s how we are trying to won a World Cup? #AsiaCupT20 #INDvsPAK

@ImRo45 @BCCI how do you keep a player like @DineshKarthik out of this match?

India has made a big blunder!! They have dropped a specialist batter Dinesh Karthik against quality express fast bowling of Pakistan. Perhaps India is more focused and scared of strong batting lineup of Pakistan for which India added a bowling option Deepak Hooda. #INDvPAK

I don't like this decision of benching Dinesh Karthik. Necessary to play him now that Jadeja is out. As I keep saying, India need to make the changes at the top of the order, not in the middle-order. #INDvPAK

Whatever the reasons may be, one of which definitely makes little sense, Dinesh Karthik having to sit out in this form is just sad.#AsiaCup2022 #INDvPAK
