In the recently ended Test series againstEngland, there have been some great performances, especially from the young Indian players. However, one player who didn’t get a chance throughout the series was
Abhimanyu Easwaran . The 29-year-old has been knocking the doors of the Indian Cricket team and has also been included in the Indian squad in the last few years but hasn’t got a place in the playing XI so far.
However, Abhimanyu Easwaran’s father Ranganathan Easwaran revealed that India Head Coach Gautam Gambhir has given an assurance to his son that his India debut is not far enough and he will be getting a long run. "Abhi was pissed off because he wasn't picked. When I called, he said, 'dad, I still haven't found a place'. He was disturbed, but said, 'I've lived my dream for 23 years, not getting picked for 1-2 games won't shatter that,” Ranganathan told Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel.

Speaking further, Ranganathan Easwaran revealed that Gautam Gambhir assured his son that he will not rule him out after one or two bad matches. Abhimanyu has been showing great form in domestic cricket in the last few years and earned the attention of the selectors due to his consistent performances.
“Gautam Gambhir, when he spoke to my son, he assured him see you you're doing the right kind of things you'll get your turn you'll get a long run. I'm not the one who will push you out after one or two matches. I'll give you a long rope. That's what my son communicated to me. The entire coaching team assured him that he'll get his due, he'll get his long run. That's the best I can say. My son is waiting for 4 years, He's put in 23 years of hard work," Abhimanyu Easwaran’s father further said.
