As India named their squad for the two-match T20 series against Ireland, one name that was missing was of all-rounder Rahul Tewatia.
The 29-year-old played a key role in helping Gujarat Titans win the Indian Premier League title in their debut season, but was overlooked by selectors.
Tewatia put out a two-word tweet that has since gone viral. "Expectations hurts (sic)," he tweeted. The post has got more than 10,000 likes and over 500 retweets on the microblogging site, with several users consoling him and assuring him that he will one day get his chance in the national team.
Expectations hurts Tewatia had got a call-up for a T20I series in Australia after IPL 2020, but could not clear the fitness test at the time.
