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
