Many fans were unhappy with exclusion of Dhanawade, who is the son of an auto-rickshaw driver.

Remember Pranav Dhanawade?
 The Kalyan boy who created a world record by scoring 1009* in an U-16 inter-school cricket match for KC Gandhi English School against Arya Gurukul School earlier on January 5.
He is again trending in Social media for his exclusion from U-16 Team.
Soon after Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun was picked for the U-16 West Zone squad for the inter-zonal tournament, fans were left baffled as Pranav Dhanawade, who is the first cricketer to score over 1,000 runs in an innings, failed to make the cut.
Cricket fans across social media have erupted in anger over Dhanawade's non-inclusion in the squad, while questioning the selection of Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun.
Here is how the Twitterati reacted to the teenager's exclusion:

While the fans may be angry, the young boy's family and coach, Mubin Sheikh, are not complaining.

"I heard there is a lot of talk about Pranav's non selection in the West Zone U-16 squad, but we are not sad and not even thinking about it. In cricket, you cannot talk about things that are not is our control," - Sheikh said.
Mumbai Cricket Association joint secretary PV Shetty said it is difficult to pick Dhanawade right now. "I cannot say about the zonal selection but we cannot pick him in the Mumbai probables too unless he scores runs. We haven't heard about him after he scored those 1,000 runs. But we will definitely include him if he starts scoring consistently," said Shetty.
MCA had rewarded Dhanawade with a monthly scholarship of Rs 10,000 after he achieved the feat.
Sheikh, on the other hand, said the lad has time to make it to the next level. "He was destined to play that innings of 1,000 runs. Before that innings he was ordinary, but after playing that knock, he has only improved by leaps and bounds," he said.
"However, he still has time. Maybe another two years to even make it to the U-19 team. We don't need to pressurise him. Just let him enjoy the game," he said.
However, when Dhanawade slammed 1009 runs in June last year, he was a 15-year-old. According to his profile on the internet, his date of birth is May 13, 2000.
In that case, he wasn't eligible for the U-16 squad.
So you have put all the points in front of  you. So now you decide what to do now?
