These 3 strong players could have been included in Team India for the New Zealand series!
After playing a three-match T20 series with Bangladesh, India is preparing to play a 3-match Test series against New Zealand from 16 October 2024. The three-match Test series between India and New Zealand ( IND vs NZ Test Series) will be held at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Team India is fully prepared for New Zealand for which Team India has also prepared its squad. If we pay attention to Team India’s squad, the thing to be seen is that there were such 3 players of Team India who could have been included in the team during the New Zealand series but it was not done.
In fact, these 3 players of Team India have given good performance in the last several Test matches in the Test series, due to which if these 3 players were included in Team India for the Test series against New Zealand, then perhaps Team India’s squad would have looked even stronger.
The 3 Players of Team India who have not been included in Team squad for the New Zealand Test series are as follows:
These 3 players of Team India could have shown their best performance if they joined Team India in the New Zealand Test series:
3. Abhimanyu Easwaran
Abhimanyu Easwaran is one of the 3 Players of Team India who is famous for his strong performance in domestic cricket. Abhimanyu Easwaran is a right-handed batsman who has dominated domestic cricket these days. Abhimanyu had given an unforgettable performance by scoring two centuries in the Dilip Trophy, while in the Irani Trophy too he made a record of 191 runs by playing a brilliant century. If we look at Abhimanyu’s previous record, he has scored 7506 runs in 98 first class matches.
2.Mukesh Kumar
Mukesh Kumar is said to be another capable right-arm fast bowler of Team India. Mukesh Kumar played his last Test match against England in February 2024 and after that he was not included in any Test team but he is constantly trying to get included in the Test team. Let us tell you that Mukesh Kumar had also shown good performance in Dilip Trophy and Irani Trophy, due to which it was believed that perhaps Mukesh should have been included in Team India against the New Zealand Test series but it did not happen.
1. Rituraj Gaikwad
Ruturaj Gaikwad is one of the 3 Players of Team India who has shown his brilliant performance in domestic cricket but despite this he has not made his Test debut yet. It is believed that the Cricket Board is continuously ignoring Ruturaj Gaikwad by not including him in the Test team. Recently, in the Dilip Trophy, Gaikwad showed tremendous performance and played brilliant innings with his bat, due to which his captaincy was also praised a lot. If we look at the records of Rituraj’s previous matches, he has scored 2282 runs at an average of 42.25 in the 33 first class matches played so far, which also includes six centuries and 12 half-centuries.
In such a situation, due to not including these 3 Players of Team India against New Zealand series, perhaps Team India’s squad may appear diminished in front of New Zealand. Now the thing to be seen is how much strength is there in the prepared squad of Team India to ensure victory by showing their brilliant performance against New Zealand.
