India got another opener, hit second consecutive century against Bangladesh

New Delhi. ODI World Cup is to be held in India next year. Team India has also started preparing for the Bangladesh tour. Who will be Rohit Sharma’s opening partner? There is a debate going on about this. At present, two names are at the forefront of the race. One is Shikhar Dhawan, who is the highest run-scorer for India in ODIs this year, while the other is Shubman Gill, who is second after Dhawan.

Dhawan has not been in color for the last few matches and this year his strike rate has also come down a lot and his age has also become 37 years. In such a situation, Gill is considered a strong contender to start the innings with Rohit during the World Cup. However, there is another Indian batsman, who is scoring runs consistently in the top order. He has scored his second consecutive century against Bangladesh at his home. The name of this batsman is Abhimanyu Easwaran, who is currently the captain of India-A for the unofficial Test series against Bangladesh-A.

Abhinyu has also scored a century in the second unofficial Test against Bangladesh-A in Sylhet. While Shikhar Dhawan is struggling to score runs in Bangladesh, on the other hand Iswaran has scored his second consecutive century opening the innings against Bangladesh-A. He returned unbeaten on 144 runs on the second day of this test.

He also scored a century in the first unofficial Test at Cox’s Bazar. Then this opener had scored 141 runs. Abhimanyu had a record partnership of 283 runs for the first wicket with Yashasvi Jaiswal. This was the second highest partnership for the first wicket for India-A. In that match, Abhimanyu scored runs against Bangladesh’s bowling attack, which had four such bowlers Taijul Islam, Khalid Ahmed, Mosaddek Hossain and Naeem Hasan, who have played for Bangladesh.

Abhimanyu continues to score runs in domestic cricket
Abhimanyu has been scoring runs continuously in domestic cricket for the last two years and is constantly knocking on the doors of Team India. Seeing Abhimanyu’s performance in domestic cricket, he was selected in Team India for the Test match on the tour of England last year. However, he did not get a chance to debut.

Abhimanyu’s record is excellent even in List-A cricket
It is not that Abhimanyu is scoring runs while opening the innings only in red ball cricket. His performance in List-A cricket has also been good in recent years. Even before coming on Bangladesh tour, he scored 122 runs in 123 balls against Services while captaining Bengal in a Vijay Hazare Trophy match. His strike rate was a little less than 100.

If we look at his overall List-A career, so far he has scored 3376 runs in 78 matches at an average of 46.24. He has scored 7 centuries and 21 half-centuries. His strike rate is also slightly higher than 82. That means Abhimanyu’s performance in white ball cricket will be called good.

Can be tried in ODIs as well
In this year’s Vijay Hazare Trophy also, Abhimanyu has scored 194 runs in 6 matches for Bengal with the help of a century and a half-century. That is, Abhimanyu can be tried as an opener not only in red ball cricket, but also in white ball cricket. His biggest strength is technology. He plays the new ball well. For this reason, he is being repeatedly selected for the Indian Test team. If, he is tried in ODIs, then India will have another option for opening for the ODI World Cup.
