What about Rutu and Tripathi.
Tripathi is a better T20 player than Gill

Tripathy is much better choice than Hooda.

He was given many chances in 2022. Didn't noticed any match winning batting in big matches.#Tripathy #Hooda
Feel for Rahul Tripathi. He is incredibly talented player and he has done really well in domestic cricket and IPL but his wait is continues.

If you go by the pecking order, Rahul Tripathi should be ahead of Gill. This is seriously such a stupid decision by team management. Favoritism still exists.
