Shaw wrote, "Hope you are watching everything Sai Baba,"
Shaw is not the only one, even pacer Umesh Yadav posted a note that read, "May be you can fool me, but God is watching you mind that."
Another Indian batter overlooked was Nitish Rana. He too, disappointed shared a note that read, "Hope, hold on, pain ends."
Spinner Ravi Bishnoi meanwhile wrote, "Come back is always stronger than setback."
Talking about some players, BCCI chief selector was questioned about why were Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan being excluded despite their consistent performances. However, Chetan Sharma insisted that their time will also come.
"Sarfaraz Khan is brilliant player but he don't have a space now - he is a serious contender," said Sharma.
"Prithvi Shaw will get the chances in the Indian team soon," he added.
