IND A star races ahead of KL Rahul in pecking order to play Perth Test if Rohit Sharma misses out: ‘Not ready but...'
Hindustan TimesAbhimanyu Easwaran failed to make an impact in the two unofficial Tests against Australia A and makes his case a bit weaker to fill in Rohit Sharma's shoes in the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in case the Indian captain misses out. India captain Rohit Sharma might miss the first Test against Australia due to personal reasons. Rahul and Easwaran both failed to make an impact in the second unofficial Test against Australia A as former India opener Aakash Chopra suggested that none of the top-order batters managed to impress with the India A team. However, Chopra suggested that amongst the options, Easwaran has the the best chance to get picked in the XI to partner with Yashasvi Jaiswal for the first Test if Rohit misses the match due to personal reasons.
