Gautam had said during the Vidarbha match that he did not have a choice in the matter, and later said that flitting between the roles of a keeper and a fielder was hard. "It is irritating because on and off keeping is not that easy also because I have to focus on my fielding," Gautam told ESPNcricinfo. "It's a new challenge for me because I haven't done this for the past seven years."

Arun Kumar said it was hard for him to strike a balance between the interests of an individual and a team. "I am [in] a bit of a tight spot, to be honest. It's not an easy thing for me convince both of them. It took a lot of sleepless nights for me to decide on this."

"Obviously CM Gautam was really hurt, and then I explained to him that people know you are a good keeper.

All the other players in Karnataka side are better than Mayank for the 4 day format . its between Mayank and Uthappa , who are similar players , but uthappa was the highest scorer last season .

Why not Uthappa open the bowling as well? He can then fill in the allrounder spot in the Indian team, allrounder/reserve wicket keeper/reserve-opener.

Gautam should come back to TN team :hitler:
