IND vs SA T20I Squad: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced Team India for the upcoming 5 T20 match series against South Africa on Sunday. While senior players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah have been rested, young players like Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik have been gifted with outstanding performances in IPL 2022. In the team of 18 players announced by the BCCI, some such names are missing, who had staked their claim in IPL 2022 by performing brilliantly. The names of Shikhar Dhawan and Rahul Tripathi are at the top of this list. Fans are very disappointed because of not getting such players in the Indian team.Along with Rahul Tripathi and Shikhar Dhawan, Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson also did not get a chanceRahul Tripathi is looking in great form in IPL 2022. In 13 matches he has played this season, he has scored 393 runs at an average of 39.30, while Shikhar Dhawan has scored 427 runs in the same number of matches at an average of 38.27. Dhoni is at number 6 in the list of highest run-scorers in IPL 2022. At the same time, Shubman Gill, who scored 403 runs in season-15, has also not got a place in the team.The fans have suffered the most due to non-selection of Rahul Tripathi.
