Abhimanyu Easwaran scores 191 runs in 292 balls

Abhimanyu Easwaran continued his impressive form in the Irani Cup, scoring 191 runs for the Rest of India (RoI) against Mumbai. This century marked his third consecutive first-class hundred this season, reinforcing his case for selection as a reserve opener for India’s upcoming tour of Australia. Easwaran’s innings, which included 16 fours and a six, helped RoI reach 399/6 at stumps, still trailing by 137 runs after Mumbai’s first innings of 537.

His performance has drawn attention from national selectors, especially given the competition with RuturajGaikwad and B Sai Sudharsan for the reserve opener position. Easwaran expressed his determination to keep improving and focus on his game to secure a spot in the national team. The match remains crucial as it could influence selections for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy later this year
