Why were Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rajat Patidar excluded from India? Reasons aakash chopra

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Rajat Patidar emerged as two of the best strikers in the Duleep trophy. The first scored 200 points (184 and 16) against the western area. The latter only played three rounds and amassed 268 points with one hundred and two fifths while playing for the central zone.

But neither has the team for India for the next series of Australia. Why then? Domestic artists should surely be rewarded. But there is a reason why the Cricket Control Council in India (BCCI) did not do so.

Why was Gaikwad not considered

The former opener of India, Aakash Chopra, explained why it happened. Gaikwad failed miserably against Australia last year in Australia. In four rounds there, he scored 20 points in 4 rounds. When India turned in England, it was added to the team but did not play.

“Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 184 recently in the Duleep trophy. However, he did not marked a racing in India a shadow tour during the BGT Time, where he was the captain. He was part of India Squad for the tour in England but did not play. So he was there and almost”, ” Aakash said on his YouTube channel.

These figures alone explain why Gaikwad is not in the scheme of things. But even if we return, in the Duleep 2024 trophy, he did not shine. The same thing happened in the Irani 2024 Cup. In addition, the striker did not represented the Maharashtra often in the Ranji trophy due to an injury. All this counts.

“The thing that goes against Ruturaj is that what he did is good, but the others arrive after performing. People come after set fire to domestic cricket. You could say that if Shreyas Iyer is preserved, Ruturaj can also be kept. It is an eye test. This is what you see and not necessarily what the figures are.

“He had an average of 38 in the Duleep 2024 trophy. He did not score a lot in the Iranian trophy. He did not score too many points against Australia A, and he only played four games in the last two Ranji seasons. He did not play a lot of cricket”, “ He added.

The first series of skating tests haunting it

Patidar is already 32 years old. But if Karun Nair can come back, surely, he can also. Aakash underlines how Patidar wasted the opportunity he acquired when he received his debut in the test against England in 2024. The average striker only scored 63 points in 6 sleeves. Since then, it has not been considered by the BCCI for no series of India.

“In the same breath, Rajat Patidar, who also marked races in the Duleep trophy. He was raised at some point, had the chance to play for the country. He had opportunities in the series against England. There was hope that he would mark races, because the conditions and the grounds were good, but there was no marked.”

“In the short term, this ship also sailed; The bus left the bus stop for both. It seems that Indian selectors have started to go in a slightly different direction, “,” Aakash added.
