Jaffer has been acing the Twitter game with his carefully worded messages to comment on India's team selection for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series.
On Monday, Jaffer had shared a tweet asking for Gill and Rahul's inclusion in the XI but in a cryptic, coded message to stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane.
Dear @ajinkyarahane88, here's a (hidden) message for you. Good luck for Boxing Day!

India made four changes to their XI from Adelaide Test for the Boxing Day clash in Melbourne starting Saturday.
Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj were included, in addition to Gill, even as Prithvi Shaw and Wriddhiman Saha were dropped.
Two of the changes were forced ones as Mohammed Shami got injured while batting in the second innings of the first Test while regular skipper Virat Kohli left for home on paternity leave.
Gill, who hit a half-century in the second warm-up match against Australia A that preceded the first Test, has scored 2270 runs from 23 first-class matches at 68.78 with seven centuries.
He is likely to open the batting with Mayank Agarwal, who returns to the venue where he had made his Test debut back in 2018.
