Young opener Prithvi Shaw failed to find a spot in Team India's playing XI for their T20I series opener against New Zealand in Ranchi on Friday, January 27.Shaw, who returned to India's squad after 18 months, will have to wait a little longer for his comeback. The team management went with Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan as the two openers for the first T20I.Several fans took to social media, expressing disappointment over Shaw's absence. Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter:Mottakin Anik@aguerooooooo16I know Shubman Gill is in prime form but that in ODI format. That format suits him.But T20 is not his game. He needs time to settle in. He got chance against SL and failed.This time Prithvi shaw should have had a go against NZ.#INDVsNZT20 #shaw #GillI know Shubman Gill is in prime form but that in ODI format.

Just because Ishan can keep wickets doesn't mean he edges out Prithvi Shaw. This is a do or die match for Ishan, he has been way too inconsistent. #PrithviShaw #INDVsNZT20 #INDvsNZPrithvi Shaw really should have played today, he is in red hot form.

He has featured in only one T20I so far, in which he was dismissed for a golden duck against Sri Lanka.The dynamic batter has shown impressive form in the ongoing Ranji Trophy. He drew the attention of many fans with his stellar 379-run knock against Assam earlier this month.Having amassed 595 runs in 10 innings, he is currently the second-highest run-getter for Mumbai this season.India decide to bowl first in 1st T20I against New ZealandTeam India captain Hardik Pandya won the toss at the JSCA International Stadium Complex and decided to field first in the opening encounter of the three-match T20I series.The Men in Blue completely dominated the Kiwis in the recently concluded ODI series, completing a stunning 3-0 clean sweep.
