The opener who replaced Rohit Sharma collapsed for 7 runs in Australia, Rituraj Gaikwad also suffered a bad fate
Abhimanyu Easwaran, who played for Bengal on the Australia tour, was given a place in the 15-member squad of Team India. Easwaran was selected as a backup for captain Rohit Sharma. It is expected that Rohit may be out of the first Test match. Now the batsman who replaced him, Easwaran, has been out after scoring just 7 runs in Australia. Actually, before the departure of the Indian team, a first-class match is being played between India A and Australia A at Mackay. During this, while opening, he could score only 7 runs. At the same time, the captain of the team, Rituraj Gaikwad returned to the pavilion without opening the account.
Iswaran failed in the first exam
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is going to start on 22 November. Before this, there will be a clash between the A teams of India and Australia. Both the teams are going to play 2 first-class matches, which have started today i.e. 31 October. During this time, many such players are playing in India A, who have also been selected for the 5-match test series. This match is like the first test for all those players. Because the eyes of the fans are fixed on all of them.
One of these players, Abhimanyu Easwaran, who was considered a contender for opening in the absence of captain Rohit, failed to score big in his first test. He could score only 7 runs in 30 balls. On the other hand, the condition of India A captain Rituraj Gaikwad for this tour was even worse. He became a victim of a golden duck in the second over of the innings. Jordan Buckingham got him caught out by wicketkeeper Josh Philip. Let us tell you that there was a lot of uproar when Gaikwad was not selected.
Australia A captain Nathan McSweeney won the toss and decided to bowl first. His team gave a jolt to India A in the second over itself. After this Sai Sudarshan came to bat. He was still trying to handle the innings when India got another jolt at the score of 17 runs. Abhimanyu Easwaran was out after scoring 7 runs.
Then the third blow came in the form of Sai Sudarshan at the score of 32 runs. He scored 21 runs in 35 balls. After this, Baba Indrajit and Devdutt Padikkal together took charge of the Indian team. There was a partnership of 38 runs in 78 balls between the two, then on the score of 71 runs, the team also lost the fourth wicket in the form of Baba Indrajit. In this way, after 30 overs till the lunch break, India A has scored 76 runs at the loss of 4 wickets. At the same time, Padikkal is present at the crease with 35 runs in 63 balls and Ishan Kishan is present at the crease with 4 runs in 5 balls.
