India vs Australia second T20 match is being played in Melbourne. Australia won the toss and decided to bowl first, which proved to be very good in the first 10 overs. The Indian team had lost the first 5 wickets till the score was only 49. Despite the continuous fall of wickets, Abhishek Sharma continued his stormy batting, but the most talked about person was Harshit Rana, who was sent to bat at number seven.

In the last one year, India’s batting order was completely set from top to bottom. In such a situation, Gautam Gambhir has invited criticism by sending Harshit Rana to the seventh position. The situation was such that Shivam Dubey had to sit on the bench because of Harshit. On social media, people have even started calling Gautam Gambhir the new Greg Chappell.

Gautam Gambhir got trolled

A fan wrote on social media that he is fed up with the partiality in the Indian team, because Harshit Rana is being given a chance by keeping Arshdeep out. One person wrote that I don’t know what kind of attachment Gambhir has with Harshit. People raised big questions on the question of sending Harshit to bat before Shivam Dubey.

Gautam Gambhir’s decision to change the batting order was even called a stupid decision. Another person said that Gautam Gambhir is slowly becoming Greg Chappell, whose aim is to ruin Indian cricket. He said that now that Harshit Rana has been sent to bat above Shivam Dubey, he hopes that Gambhir will be dismissed soon.

Mr. Gambhir is the new Greg Chappel here to ruin Indian Cricket.
Now Harshit Rana is sent before Shivam Dube.
I hope he gets fired soon. https://t.co/dU0Xteu2Qm

What was that batting plan, seriously?

Samson at 3 ahead of SKY, and sending Harshit Rana to bat when a proper batsman like Dube was available was even strange. Pure confusion out there. #INDvsAUS #StarNiAdugu@GautamGambhir
