For India’s testing team in an important statement during the transition period, former captain Sourav Ganguly Bengal strongly supported Abhimanyu ezavaran Unresolved number 3 for batting position. Ganguly’s comments come at an important time, the team is facing the search for a trusted middle-order batsman and many players have been tried in a role without success. His public support offers a powerful voice of support for a player that has consistently knocked on the doors of international cricket, but has been repeatedly ignored.
Long wait for Abhimanyu Ezavaran and strong domestic credentials
At the age of 28, Ezavaran has established himself as a major force in domestic cricket, yet his long -awaited test debut has remained elusive. 103 The stability of Ezavaran is well documented, including 27 centuries, with an average of 48.70 with an impressive record of 7,841 runs in first -class matches. He is a regular involved on India’s foreign tourism, including Australia And EnglandBut it has often been withdrawn on the bench.
During this, a striking example was done Seema-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25Where they were sidelined in favor KL Rahul When for the initial slot Rohit Sharma Was unavailable. Despite the promises of team management, his father has become a point of position with his son’s constant disappointment over the frequent snub.
In particularly commentary, he quoted the head coach Gautam GambhirWho allegedly assured Ishwar, “I am not the one who will push you out after one or two matches. I will give you a long rope.” As a regular leader for India, ‘A’ side and the Duleep Trophy recently, a captain, Ishwaran has not only scored runs, but also demonstrated strong leadership qualities, making his case more compelling for India.
Sourav Ganguly’s vision for delicate number 3 slot
Ganguly’s analysis of the current Indian test team indicates a clear field of concern: number 3 batting position. In his words, Ganguly clarified his faith and said, “He is age on his side. I still believe that he will get his chance. I think batsmen like Yashasvi, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja feel that all runs are. This observation is well -supported by the performance of the players tried recently in that role.
During the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the management rotated between Sudarshan and Karun, but neither managed to secure the location with a solid performance. Sudhasan struggled, scoring just 140 runs in six innings at a short average of 23.33 with two ducks. Similarly, Karun, despite a good average of 25.62 with 205 runs out of eight innings, failed to turn his beginning into a meaningful contribution. According to Ganguly, this inconsistency at the top of the order makes a perfect opportunity for a player of the caliber of Ezavaran and provides very important stability. With important home test chain against West indies And South Africa On the horizon, a strong performance in domestic cricket can eventually open the door for Ezavaran to claim the situation that a cricket legend believes he is lucky.
