Significant ton today. Big statement that will propel him forward in to selctors minds. I guarantee before yesterday the eslectors would not have even discussed including him in a India squad but after today they will chat about him and consider him

BUMP A 100 in the Irani Trophy for the highest run getter of last domestic season. It's an absolute travesty that he isn't playing in NZ for the A side right now. Definitely deserved a spot there.

Got injured in the India-A tour to WI and wasn't fit when the India-A team for NZ got selected. If Ashok Menaria can get selected there, he would have not really been ignored.

pitty that even some of the players in India who dont even play for the A team looks to be better batsman than some of our players :((

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/robin-bist-once-injured-twice-shy/1155324/ Robin Bist- Once injured, twice shy A broken thumb and injured shoulder kept Rajasthan batsman Robin Bist on the sidelines in the last domestic season. Multiple injuries during a space of only five matches not only denied Bist hits in the middle, but took away some crucial opportunities of making his case strong in front of the selectors. After entering the elite 1000-run club in the 2011/12 season, Bist was emerging to be a fine Indian prospect before a thumb injury crashed his hopes. The injury denied him a spot in India's A tour to New Zealand in 2012, and kept him out of action for three months. On return, he notched up a century in the first innings of the Irani Trophy (2012) match against the Rest of India (ROI) and a well-compiled half-century in the second, that too against a bowling attack featuring the likes of Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and Pragyan Ojha. The next season was promising to be a good one for the talented batsman, but he had very little clue about the road ahead. Injuries came to haunt him again, this time even worse. "I got three injuries in one Ranji season (2012/13). My right thumb, which was injured earlier too, broke again last season. I couldn't play and was infected with viral fever, which forced me into the hospital for a day. After dealing with both of them, I appeared for a game, but again got hit on my shoulder which tore my ligament. "The only thing which went wrong last season was my injuries, which kept me out of action and deteriorated my chances further. The worst part was that all these things happened in five matches. It was indeed a very bad phase for me to sit out. I wanted to be out there, wanted to bat and wanted to score runs," informs the right-hander who could only muster 348 runs in the six Ranji Trophy matches he played.

Has shown lot of potential so far. It is unusual batsmen go through lot of injuries like this. Like a perfect storm he picked up so many injuries in a matter of 5 matches.

i thought he would get a chance in the england series last year...

Good luck to him. A bit unlucky with injuries like Manoj Tiwary.
