India recently announced their squad for the series against Ireland and the team will be led by Hardik Pandya. Many youngsters got an opportunity in the team courtesy of their performances in the IPL 2022. However, one of the all-rounders Rahul Tewatia missed a spot in the series. Tewatia turned out to be a good finisher for the Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2022 as he played some memorable knocks.
Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar is of the opinion that Tewatia should have been included in the team for the Ireland series he has done consistently well.
“Rahul Tewatia, the ice-man. Sometimes you feel if it's such a touch-and-go situation maybe take an additional member. Instead of 15, take an additional member because it's hard to leave somebody who has done so consistently well. He was superb. He had won matches, which looked lost. He went in there and smashed the ball around very intelligently, very cleverly. He was also able to play around the off-side not just on the on-side,” Sunil Gavaskar said during the fifth T20I between India and South Africa.
