    Rahul Tewatia gets snubbed by selectors: Decoding his T20 stats

    What's the story

    On Wednesday, the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) named a 17-man squad for the T20I series against Ireland.

    All-rounder Rahul Tewatia was miffed for not making the cut.

    The middle-order batter had a terrific run throughout the concluded edition of the Indian Premier League.

    Annoyed by the snub, the 29-year-old took to Twitter and stated "expectations hurts".

    Here's more.

    2022

    Tewatia shined in IPL 2022

    Tewatia has been one of the hot commodities in the cash-rich tournament.

    He fetched Rs. 9 crore in the IPL 2022 mega auction.

    Playing for the newcomers, Gujarat Titans, Tewatia compiled 217 runs at 31.00.

    He struck at a jaw-dropping rate of 147.61.

    His top three scores from this season read: 40* vs LSG, 40* vs SRH, and 43* vs RCB.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Tewatia was one of the vital cogs behind GT's titular run this season.

    He single-handedly won a few games for the Hardik Pandya-led set-up.

    India need someone with stupendous finishing prowess and a knack to garner few wickets.

    And, Tewatia fits the bill.

    Given his ability to turn the game in a span of few deliveries, Tewatia's omission is indeed surprising.

    IPL

    A look at Tewatia's numbers in IPL

    Tewatia rose to prominence in 2020, smashing a whirlwind 53 off 31 deliveries against PBKS.

    He managed 255 runs that season, averaging an impressive 42.50.

    He also claimed 10 wickets.

    Overall, the hard-hitter has slammed 738 runs in 64 matches at 25.44.

    He has maintained a prolific strike rate of 130.33.

    He has pocketed 32 scalps with best figures of 3/18.

    IPL 2021

    How did Tewatia perform in IPL 2021?

    Tewatia had poor returns in the 2021 edition of IPL.

    He managed 155 runs in 14 outings, averaging a mere 15.50.

    He hit 11 fours and six sixes.

    Tewatia's strike rate took a beating as well (SR: 105.44).

    He had a forgettable run on the bowling front too.

    He claimed eight wickets but averaged 42.50 (economy 9.18).

    Duo

    Tripathi earns T20I call-up; Samson returns

    Uncapped India batter Rahul Tripathi has earned his maiden call-up.

    Tripathi finished as the second-highest run-scorer for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022, having slammed 413 runs at a strike rate of 158.23.

    Besides, the team management has given Sanju Samson another opportunity to shine.

    The stylish batter led Rajasthan Royals to the final besides scoring 458 runs (SR: 146.79).

    Numbers

    Tewatia has over 1,300 T20 runs and 50-plus wickets

    Across 103 T20s, Tewatia has amassed 1,387 runs averaging a decent 27.74.

    He has struck at a note-worthy rate of 143.13.

    On the boundary front, he has tallied 125 fours and 62 sixes.

    He has crunch numbers in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, scoring 649 runs at a strike rate of 161.04.

    Overall in T20s, he has 54 scalps at an economy of 7.57.

    Squad
