Ranganathan Easwaran, the father of Abhimanyu Easwaran, recently said that Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of India, promised his son that he will soon receive his first international cap. Easwaran played for India in the just finished Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and the 2024–25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He was not given a chance in the starting lineup, though.
During the England tour, Karun Nair and Sai Sudharsan were given chances before Abhimanyu Easwaran. But in the 10 innings they played together, they were only able to achieve one half-century apiece.
“Gautam Gambhir told my kid that if he keeps doing the right things, he will eventually have his time and have a long career.
After one or two games, I won’t be the one to kick you out. Give me a long rope, please. That’s what I heard from my son. He was reassured by the whole coaching staff that he would receive his just desserts. That’s all I have to say. In an interview with Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Ranganathan Easwaran stated, “My son has been waiting for four years and has worked hard for twenty-three years.”
According to the records, Abhimanyu is the player who prolongs the innings: Ranganathan
According to Ranganathan, his kid ought to have played at a disadvantage. According to him, Abhimanyu Easwaran expertise playing on grassy fields at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens would have been beneficial in England.
“He ought to have taken a step back.” No animosity against Sai Sudharsan. Please realise that I am familiar with him and all of them. It’s one down, though, because it’s unclear which location. What role does he play? I hear you say 0, 31, 0, 61. Abhimanyu, who has participated in roughly 30% of the games on Eden Garden, a green track, might have been a possibility. He has played on green wickets before. Additionally, the record indicates that Abhimanyu is the player who sustains the innings for the longest,” he continued.
Ranganathan also asked how Karun Nair, who usually batted at No. 4 or No. 5 for Vidarbha in domestic cricket, ended up being regarded as a No. 3 batter.
Karu Nair never lost a game. For Vidarbha, he has consistently played with two or three down. How did he get into the one-down situation? Players who are playing four and five numbers will suddenly emerge as top order batters. However, my son is a very good hitter. Not even three or four will do for him. Ranganathan Easwaran stated that he could only play as the opener.
In December 2022, Easwaran received his first Test call-up for India during the tour of Bangladesh. Since then, though, he has witnessed fifteen cricket players make their debuts before him. During the Test matches against South Africa and the West Indies, he will be hoping for opportunities.
