'India are in panic mode': BCCI's KL Rahul vs Abhimanyu Easwaran move baffles Manjrekar as Gambhir, Agarkar savaged
Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar felt India pressed the panic button when they put KL Rahul in a direct face-off with Abhimanyu Easwaran in the second India A match in Melbourne earlier this week as he urged the selectors and the team management to end their obsession over backing the India wicketkeeper-batter. Sanjay Manjrekar was not impressed with BCCI's KL Rahul vs Abhimanyu Easwaran move On the back of a stunning start to his first-class season, where he scored four centuries in four straight matches across three competitions, Easwaran was picked in the India squad for the Border-Gavaskar series in Australia and touted to replace captain Rohit Sharma, who is reportedly set to miss the opening Test match in Perth owing to the birth of his second child. However, India, moments after their humiliating 0-3 loss against New Zealand at home, sent Rahul to Australia for an India A match in a bid to gain early preparations for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and was pitted against Easwaran in the MCG game as he was asked to open keeping in mind Rohit's absence in Perth. But it's not for us to play God and decide that maybe Abhimanyu Easwaran won't get run in the Test match.
