Former player Krishnamanchari Srikkanth is unhappy that brilliant batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad has not been included in the Indian team for the T20 series against South Africa and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. Let us tell you that Rituraj Gaikwad’s performance so far in international cricket for Team India has been excellent. Whenever he has been given a chance, the young player has won the hearts of all the fans by batting tremendously.

Ruturaj Gaikwad is the third highest ranked Indian batsman in T20 rankings after Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, despite this, he has neither been included in Team India for the T20 series against South Africa nor in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.

Krishnamanchari Srikanth shared a video on his official YouTube channel and said, ‘I am not able to understand at all about Rituraj. I feel bad for them. What will they do? If Ruturaj has scored a century then he should be included in the T20 team. The young batsman scored two first class centuries but did not get a chance. He has scored runs continuously but the team management is not giving him opportunities. Where is that player going now?

Former player gave a big statement regarding Rituraj Gaikwad

Krishnamanchari Srikkanth further said, ‘Abhimanyu Easwaran has batted brilliantly in domestic cricket and I am not raising any questions about it at all. But what about Rituraj? It is not clear what the board’s plan is regarding him. Just look at the mentality of this player and tell me what else he has to do to join the team?

The three-match T20 series against South Africa is starting from 8 November. After this, Team India will play a 5-match Test series against Australia, which will start from November 22 in Perth. If Team India wants to secure its place in the final of the World Test Championship, then they will have to win the upcoming 5-match Test series against Australia by a big margin.
