It suffers from a series of tropes. Go to Full Review Times of India Staff The Times of India 10/17/2023

Selection Day has its heart in the right place but its mind is too scattered and distracted, much like that of its adolescent protagonists. Go to Full Review Pradeep Menon Firstpost 10/17/2023
3/5
The show never really drags, but isn’t as razor-sharp as it could have been. It ends on a note that suggests a season two, but it’s one that I’d watch with the hope that the next time around they immerse the drama back into the cricket. Go to Full Review Saibal Chatterjee NDTV 07/20/2020
2.5/5
A middling show that becomes worth your time all the way, if not for the treatment of the substance, certainly for its physical fleshing out by a solid supporting cast. Go to Full Review Soumya Rao Scroll.in 08/19/2019
This conflict, a compelling mix of testosterone, pheromones and other hormones that drive teenage angst, got short shrift in the first part of the series. The second part doesn't do justice to it either. Go to Full Review Rucha Sharma DNA India 07/10/2019
While Selection Day had all the tropes of [Arvind] Adiga's writing -- crazy characters, slow pace, and confusing storylines -- the TV adaptation feels crispier in comparison. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mayank A @Mayank197 05/24/2019 Selection Day is a coming of age sports drama suspense series made for Netflix India. The plot revolves around two brothers and their father's passion towards making them the next superstar of Cricket. The father's obsession borders to mania and gives the vibes that he may do anything to achieve his dreams. To fulfill their ambition they move to Mumbai and covet for a position in the Mumbai under 19 Team. To add spice to the mix, the god gets involved, they meet a rival with some disturbing emotions and one of the brothers does not even want to be a cricketer. I thought I have figured out the plot but I was way wrong, the ending surprised me in multiple levels. The series got superb casting and performances by both the young and old actors. It is another gem of a Netflix Original. See more 04/23/2019 Although its non-cricket parts are often scarcely believable, Selection Day is still an interesting piece of television from the maturing non-soap-opera-Indian-TV industry niche. The father-sons relationship at its heart makes it an engaging watch, with enjoyable themes like coming-of-age, family friction, tough love, and desire for self-actualisation.

But as the episodes progressed I wanted more and more of it, but it failed to do so. In S1 they should have had more episodes. It feels incomplete and a half cooked meal leaving the audience hungry. I like the god character as well. Mahesh Manjrekar has been good. Infact every character in this show has been spot on. See more Read all reviews
