The 28-year-old left-arm wrist spinner had career-best match figures of 8-113 as India defeated Bangladesh by 188 runs in Chittagong.
However, he was replaced by Saurashtra seam bowler Jaydev Unadkat in the second Test at Mirpur.
&ldquo;Dropping a Man of the Match, that is unbelievable. That&rsquo;s the only word I can use and it&rsquo;s a gentle word. I would like to use quite stronger words, but it&rsquo;s unbelievable that you left out a &lsquo;Man of the Match&rsquo;, who got eight out of the 20 wickets,&rdquo; Gavaskar said while commentating on Sony Sports Network, the broadcasters of the series.
&ldquo;You have got two other spinners [Axar Patel and R. Ashwin]. So surely, one of the other spinners could have been dropped.&rdquo;
