Chennai,
The Indian team is touring Bangladesh where they are playing 3 ODIs and 2 Test cricket matches. In the first ODI between these two teams, Bangladesh won the thrilling match by beating India by 1 wicket. The lead in the series is 1-0.
Captain Rohit, Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan and Ishan Kishan were expected to be the openers in the Indian team for this series.
Rahul took the field in the 5th row and also took care of the wicket keeping duties. Wicket keeper Ishan Kishan did not get a place in the playing eleven. Meanwhile, the BCCI suddenly announced that Rishabh Pant has been dropped from the ODI squad.
In this case, Indian player Ravichandran Ashwin has spoken on his YouTube channel about Rudraj Gaikwat not getting a place in the Indian team, who showed a great performance in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Cup cricket in India. In this regard he says,
Rudraaj is from India, who will he replace?. Not even a replacement, just look at who he’s competing with for a place in the team. We have been using Shakar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Subman Gill and occasionally Rishabh Pant as an opener.
Also, to be honest, India is a very difficult country to play cricket in. Because there are so many people vying for a place, it’s getting heated. Ruduraj doesn’t warm it up, he keeps a solar panel on his head and scores fun runs. Rudraaj Gaekwad is amazing, the best.
I am sure CSK fans will be very happy. It is only a matter of time before Rudraaj Gaekwad heats up world cricket.
This is what he said.
