So Wriddhiman went unsold on first day? 😲

Did Shakib get a team finally?

nope, Shakib went unsold - as he won't be available for the entire season & yeah Wriddhiman was selected on the 2nd day - just before the last draw - he was selected in the accelerated round I think, where each team sends 7-8 players - they wish to bid for again - list had total of 69-70 names.

For Shakib, his wife posted this on FB - "Before you get too excited a Couple of teams contacted him directly ahead of time if he can be available for the full season, but unfortunately he can’t due to Sri Lanka series! This is why he did not get picked which is not a big deal, it is not the end, there’s always next year! In order to be picked he needed to skip SL series, so if he was picked would you have said the same? or would you have made him a traitor by now? Sorry to pour water on your excitement!"

That note is 😳

Was he being mocked/trolled on SM for not being selected?

U19 cricketers Raj Angad Bawa and Rajvardhan Hagargekar were picked up by PBKS and CSK respectively.

Yash Dhull is the other U19 player (U19 Indian wc winning team captain), who was picked up by the teams - he went to Delhi.

Apparently Bangladeshis were trolling him, especially since he missed some tours for his country to play for IPL in the past.

I think the teams did the right thing by discussing with the player if they will be available for the entire season. Infact the players who can't play for the whole IPL due to their national tours, should not register. Pulling out in the middle of the season creates bad name for them and also bring loss to their buyers.
