India’s opener Abhimanya Easwaran has had an incredible journey in domestic cricket. Despite playing for years, he has failed to make it to the national team. His consistency and hard work have helped him secure a spot in the squad, but he has yet to be part of the playing XI for India. Recently, he traveled to England with the Indian team, as he was part of the squad and trained under head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Abhimanyu Easwaran lauds Gautam Gambhir
India’s head coach, Gautam Gambhir, has completed a year with the Indian team, and both ups and downs have marked the journey. However, Abhimanyu Easwaran has hailed the support he got from the head coach in the recent tour. He opened up about the valuable tips Gambhir gave regarding batting, which have helped the player.
“It has been really advantageous for me because he has played at the highest level of cricket. He was a very successful cricketer, and he was an opening batter just like me. I have talked to him a lot about batting, and I have learned a lot. It has had a good impact. We practice in things that will be beneficial according to the surface. We talk about those things a lot,” said Abhimanyu Easwaran as quoted by ANI.
Easwaran’s growth and determination for the next level
Despite being one of India’s most dependable performers in first-class cricket, Easwaran has patiently waited for his breakthrough at the international level. His recent performances reflect not just form but also a renewed focus that stems from the confidence instilled by his mentor. He scored a duck and 75 runs against Odisha in the first Ranji Trophy game, but wasn’t impressive in the second game.
Under Gambhir’s guidance, Easwaran has refined his preparation routines and enhanced his adaptability across various formats. The emphasis has been on maintaining consistency, handling pressure situations, and staying mentally strong during challenging phases.
