Robin Uthappa: ‘Not taking Cheteshwar Pujara to Australia was a big miss’
Robin Uthappa slams team management for the way they has treated Abhimanyu Easwaran, who is India's leading run-scorer in the domestic cricket.
Cheteshwar Pujara struck his 25th Ranji Trophy hundred on Monday. (PTI) Robin Uthappa said Indian selectors and team management missed a big trick by not picking Cheteshwar Pujara for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and at the same time slammed the management for their poor treatment towards Abhimanyu Easwaran, who is India’s leading run-scorer in the domestic cricket.
“Not taking Cheteshwar Pujara to Australia was a big miss,” Robin Uthappa told The Lallantop.
The Indian Express’ Sriram Veera, Devendra Pandey and Venkata Krishna B has reported on January 1 that head coach Gautam Gambhir wanted veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara in the team only for the suggestion to be shot down by the selectors.
With most of the Indian top order failing to spark to life in the ongoing series, a player like Pujara, who has 993 runs from 11 games at an average of 47.28 in Australia, might have made a difference.
Abhimanyu Easwaran didn’t get a chance to play in the five-match Test series in Australia.
