Fans and former cricketers have expressed outrage over Arshdeep Singh's exclusion from India's first ODI against New Zealand. Despite being India's leading T20 wicket-taker, Singh was benched in favor of Prasidh Krishna. Critics question the team management's rotational policy, arguing that proven performers like Singh are being overlooked while others who are less economical are given opportunities. The decision has sparked considerable debate on social media regarding team selection strategies.
