Both Tripathi and Tewatia have done well in the IPL in recent years and were hoping to be called up for national duty with many regulars being either rested, left out due to injuries, or ignored due to poor form.

The 29-year-old Tewatia's disappointment was understandable as he had got a call-up for a T20I series against Australia in 2020 but could not clear the fitness test in time for the series.
In IPL 2022, Tewatia played the role of a finisher for Gujarat Titans, scoring 217 runs in 16 matches at an average of 31 and a strike rate of 147.62.
