Domestic cricket ka wo sher jo har maidan par dahaadta hai lekin jab baat Blue Jersey ki aati hai to kismat hamesha rasta badal leti hai. Hum baat kar rahe hain Abhimanyu Easwaran ki: ek aisa naam jisne runs ka pahad khada kar diya hai lekin India ke liye debut ka call abhi bhi ek adhoora sapna bana hua hai. 118 First-Class games ka anubhav aur wahi purana junoon: Abhimanyu ne saaf kar diya hai ki unki fight abhi khatam nahi hui hai.
The Guru Story
Cricket ki duniya mein persistence ka dusra naam Abhimanyu Easwaran hai. 31 saal ki umar mein jahan kai players haar maan lete hain: wahan ye batsman aaj bhi Ranji Trophy mein paseena baha raha hai. Bengal ke liye khelte hue hal hi mein unhone Services ke khilaaf 56 runs ki fighting innings kheli. Lekin sawal wahi hai: Aakhir kab tak? Abhimanyu Easwaran 2025 ke England tour par India ki Test squad ka hissa the: lekin unhe playing XI mein mauka nahi mila. Uske baad selectors ne 'Youth' ki taraf rukh kar liya aur backup opening options ke liye naye ladko ko tarjih di. Is jhatke ke bawajood Abhimanyu ka kehna hai ki jab tak saans hai tab tak India ke liye khelne ka dream zinda hai.
Abhimanyu ne unfiltered hokar kaha ki jab aap squad mein reh kar drop hote hain to dimaag mein sawal aate hain ki 'Main kyu nahi?'. Lekin waqt ke saath insaan seekh jata hai. Unka focus ab sirf itna hai ki wo Bengal ko Ranji Trophy jitwayein aur apne har mauke ko gold mein convert karein. India A ke liye unka record kisi legendary player se kam nahi hai: fir bhi kismat ne unhe ek lambi waitlist mein daal rakha hai.
Analysis & Numbers
Agar stats ki baat karein to Abhimanyu Easwaran ka dabdaba saaf nazar aata hai. Domestic circuit aur India A ke liye unhone jo mehnat ki hai: wo numbers mein bayan hoti hai:
- Abhimanyu Easwaran ne India A ke liye 51 innings mein 1909 runs banaye hain: jisme 6 centuries aur 7 half-centuries shamil hain.
- India A ke liye sabse zyada runs aur sabse zyada centuries banane ka record unhi ke naam hai.
- 118 First-Class matches ka massive experience: lekin unke saath Priyank Panchal hi aise top-10 run-scorers hain jinhe India ke liye Test debut naseeb nahi hua.
- Duleep Trophy mein East Zone ke liye back-to-back fifties aur Ranji Trophy ke pehle round mein Delhi ke khilaaf unbeaten 34* runs: consistency unke khoon mein hai.
- November 2025 mein South Africa A ke khilaaf 'pair' (zero in both innings) lagne ke baad unhe India A aur Irani Cup squad se bhi bahar hona pada.
The Guru Gyan Verdict:
Abhimanyu Easwaran ek classical Test opener hain: lekin unka bad luck ye hai ki wo ek aise era mein paida hue jahan competition brutal hai. Selectors ka focus hamesha 'Next Big Thing' par hota hai: aur isi chakkar mein Abhimanyu jaise seasoned performers ignore ho jaate hain. Halaanki unka 38.18 ka average India A ke liye bura nahi hai: lekin selectors ko shayad aur zyada 'X-factor' chahiye. Hamara saaf kehna hai: Experience ko raddi mein nahi feka ja sakta. Agar BCCI ko red-ball specialist chahiye jo mushkil condition mein khada reh sake: to Abhimanyu se behtar option milna mushkil hai. He deserves a fair shot before it is too late.
