The BCCI selection committee announced an 18 member squad for the T20 series against South Africa. The T20I series would start from 9th June which would consist of 5 T20I matches. The biggest talking point about the squad announced was the exclusion of Rahul Tripathi and Sanju Samson in the T20I squad.

Rahul Tripathi and Sanju Samson have been in brilliant form in the ongoing season of Indian Premier League. Both of them have played several impactful cameos for their team. Rahul and Sanju are the proper intent merchants in the middle order.

Tripathi has scored 413 runs at an amazing average of 37 and a mind-blowing strike rate of 158 in IPL 2022. While Samson has scored 374 runs at an average of 29 and great Strike rate of 147 in IPL 2022. These numbers are too great to not get selected for the Indian T20I team.

Fans criticised the selectors for ignoring both these batters who bat in the way modern T20 cricket demands. Cricket fans also raised questions over the selection of Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad in the Indian T20I team despite having a bad IPL 2022 season. Here are top twitter reactions where fans expressed their dissatisfaction over the exclusion of Tripathi and Samson :
