Why Rajat Patidar wasn't considered for India's T20I squad despite back-to-back titles with RCB?

Despite leading Royal Challengers Bengaluru to back-to-back IPL titles, Rajat Patidar wasn’t considered for the India team for the upcoming T20I series against Ireland and England. He wasn’t picked in the squad for the Asian Games as well. His omission gained further attention because the selectors made a number of bold calls elsewhere, including naming Shreyas Iyer as the new T20I captain. Suryakumar Yadav, who previously led the side, was left out following a disappointing IPL season.
