Let us tell you that the five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22. The Board of Control for Cricket in India has recently announced Team India for the upcoming 5 match test series. In the list of experienced batsmen, only the names of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are there. Many people were quite surprised to see that experienced player Cheteshwar Pujara has not been included in Team India in the upcoming 5-match Test series. Cheteshwar Pujara’s performance in international cricket has always been excellent and even now the great batsman is in his best form. Recently, Cheteshwar Pujara scored his 9th double century in an important Ranji Trophy match against Chhattisgarh. MSK Prasad said, ‘Cheteshwar Pujara recently scored a double century in Ranji Trophy. He also has experience and the strength that Team India needs in Australia would also be provided by Pujara. I think that if he had to select Nitish Reddy, he would have played the young player in at least one match for India A. Cheteshwar Pujara will not be seen playing in Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 Let us tell you that Cheteshwar Pujara’s record in Australia has been tremendous. He has scored 993 runs in 11 matches at an average above 47, which includes three centuries and five half-centuries. On the last day of the fourth Test match of the 2020-21 series, Cheteshwar Pujara played a valuable inning of 56 runs at the Gabba in Brisbane, due to which even the Australian bowlers got quite worried. Team India had won this test series by 2-1. Cheteshwar Pujara failed to show a strong performance in the final of the World Test Championship 2023 and after that he was never included in Team India.

According to him, it is very important for the players to perform well in this format before the T20 World Cup, first in Afghanistan and then in the IPL.

Hardik Pandya will not play in the series against Afghanistan due to injury, while KL Rahul has been rested and Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma have been included in the team as wicketkeepers in his place. MSK Prasad said, ‘I think Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been given some rest after the South Africa tour. This was also necessary because both of their players had performed very well in the ICC ODI World Cup. He definitely should have got a break. Now both these players would like to perform well against Afghanistan. I believe that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will definitely be a part of the T20 World Cup and they should start playing from this series. MSK Prasad further said, ‘The question arises that why both these players did not play after the last T20 World Cup? They were given rest because after this the team had to play the ODI World Cup and both these players had to perform well in ODIs. And that’s what they did. This is the reason why other young players got more and more opportunities. The team management and selectors are thinking right. At that time he had to focus on ODI cricket and World Test Championship. Now we are moving towards T20 cricket and their focus should be on this format. Former Indian selector expressed his views regarding the final team of T20 World Cup Regarding the final team of T20 World Cup 2024, MSK Prasad said, ‘I think players like Virat and Rohit and Shami, Bumrah, Siraj, Jadeja and Hardik should definitely be included in the team. These are all important aspects of the team. There are some other places where I would like to keep Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson. If KL Rahul does wicketkeeping then who will be your second keeper? What if Rishabh Pant is fit or Ishan Kishan is ready? If both these players remain fit then who will play in the top order? I don’t think we need a player like him in the top order. We need someone in the…
