BCCI Selectors, Gautam Gambhir TROLLED For Not Picking Yashasvi Jaiswal in Team India's ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Squad

Young Yashasvi Jaiswal made his ODI debut in the first ODI versus England and then one felt he was a certainty in the Team India squad for the Champions Trophy . India won the opening ODI versus England and the belief was that head coach Gautam Gambhir , being a left-hander himself, would prefer a right-left combination at the top and hence Jaiswal would be in the squad, at least. But once the final squad was revealed on Tuesday night, it was surprising to see him name missing. While this seemed surprising, one reckoned Gambhir and the Indian selectors were a tad-bit harsh on the youngster. Here are some of the fan reactions on the omission of Jaiswal from the Champions Trophy squad.
