Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma and India’s problem of plenty

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: Waiting in the wings is never easy. India’s T20 talent pool is overflowing thanks to the Indian Premier League and that has meant that there are many takers for the spots that have become available with the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The IPL show had come after a solid display for Punjab in the national T20 championship, the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, where he powered his state side to their maiden title with 485 runs, with two hundreds and three half-centuries while striking at over 180. Agarkar gave the example of Rinku Singh who was omitted from India’s squad for the T20 World Cup 2024 squad despite playing exceptionally well in the lead up to the tournament. Look at Rinku, he performed really well ahead of the T20 World Cup, but couldn’t make the cut.
