Abhimanyu Easwaran

Kind of feel bad for the guy. He deserves a shot, he is in the squad on the basis of his performance, deserves a go.

Definitely selection based on "net sessions". Some guys don't give a good vibe. Some guys do.

just give him one game at this point 

 

 

With Jaiswal being the only opener on the list.

With Rahul doing well for India in this series, the chance of Easwaran getting a go is tough. He could have played at number 3 but again Sai Sudharshan had lots of backing ahead of this tour and he was always going to get the first chance. I feel sorry for Easwaran as India was struggling to find a good opening combination for almost his entire domestic career but still he was never given a chance. That is unfortunate.

Eashwaran should play the 5th test.

Too much tinkering will not make any feel secure. Broad was critical of dropping Sai Sudarshan after one test.  Youngsters especially should be given a run. As i said net sessions quiet often decide the team seletion.  I have seen him in domestic. Can be used in India. Probably Eswaran in place of Rohit would have helped us against NZ. He is a fantastic sweeper of the ball. He is like our own Ben duckett with array of sweeps. Against pace even guys like siddarth kaul cramped him for room with short ball on docile wickets.

Abhimanyu Easwaran's father Ranganathan Easwaran, has questioned India's selection decisions after his son was once again overlooked for the fifth Test against England at the Oval. Abhimanyu is waiting for his debut after earning his maiden call-up back in December 2022.

I cannot disagree with him, there was no point in bringing the Nair back .

 

This is not the first time this idiot Gambhir has pulled this stunt, he kept Sarfraz out of the team in all five test while playing Jurel as batsman.

 

 

There is no rule that he should not have played in middle order.

 

 

Problem is the Coach.

He comes out good with some selections- like Nitish. But he is random. Proper vibes coach. No process

Nitish was not out of the box selection.He was the only allrounder team had along with Thakur. So selecting him or Thakur was no brainer.Even a kid would do that selection.

Should have atleast got one chance instead of Nair getting 3

Washington Sundar's father was also disappointed that his son didn't get a consistent run after his Gabba heroics.

 

Maybe we should have a father's XI - lot of contenders. Dads of Easwaran, Washi, Nair, Yuvraj, many more

[putrevus]

I don't know how he will get another chance, Gambhir has ruined his only chance.

Yes. Even Samson's dad got involved at some stage

Man I really need to see his nets session  video once. Very curious how bad can it be for two different coaches/captains to overlook you just based on nets.
