PBKSvsRR:Fans trolled PBKS coach Kumble for not including Gayle and Bishnoi

Punjab Kings (PBKS) fans didn’t accept to the omission of Chris Gayle and Ravi Bishnoi from the team’s in the clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Tuesday, with many taking to Twitter to troll head coach Anil Kumble over the line-up. Chris Gayle, who was celebrating his 42nd birthday on Tuesday, was also missing from the playing XI. While Gayle’s omission surprised many, including Sunil Gavaskar and Kevin Pietersen in the TV studio, fan favourite Bishnoi’s omission upset others.With speculation linking Kumble to the India head coach’s role after Ravi Shastri’s term comes to an end later this year, some fans took digs at the India great.
Pietersen and Gavaskar meanwhile, expressed their surprise over Gayle’s omission.

“I think he will be disappointed more than us. We can talk about it. There will be some questions asked. I don’t understand why you leave Chris Gayle out on his birthday. I explained how much emotion he has and how excited he was. He was sporting a big smile. If there was one game you were going to play him, it was today. I can’t understand the thinking at all,” Pietersen said during the pre-match show on host broadcaster Star Sports.

“I, like KP, am absolutely astonished that Chris Gayle is not playing today. The four overseas players that have been picked today, can play brilliantly and win the game for Punjab Kings today. But the fact remains that on your birthday, you are leaving out one of the stellar players of T20 format,” said India great Gavaskar.
