Rahul Tewatia’s cryptic tweet after not getting picked for India’s tour of Ireland goes viral

Rahul Tewatia of Gujarat Titans is upset after missing the Team India flight for the Ireland tour.

The utility all-rounder had a stellar show in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for his franchise. He won Gujarat matches from the jaws of defeat. The aggressive batsman amassed 217 runs in 16 games at a strike rate of almost 150 in the cash-rich league. 

On the back of his good performance, the spin all-rounder was expecting a call for the national side especially for the tour of Ireland – where a second-string side is being sent. Unfortunately, that did not happen as his name did not feature in the 17-member squad that was announced by BCCI on Wednesday.

After being ignored, the star all-rounder took to Twitter and came up with a heartfelt post. His two-word post read, “Expectations Hurts.”

Expectations hurts 😒😒
