Abhimanyu Easwaran England Snub and Gambhir’s Promise
Abhimanyu Easwaran’s father, Ranganathan Parameshwaran Easwaran, has opened up about his son’s disappointment after being overlooked for the England series. Despite strong performances in two India A games before the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Easwaran was not picked for the series opener in Leeds this June. His chances looked slim as the series went on.
Injuries in the Indian camp before the final Test at The Oval raised hopes for Easwaran’s debut. However, he was denied again, leaving him visibly upset.
Ranganathan told Vickey Lalwani on YouTube, “He was disturbed after not being picked for the fifth Test—he was expecting that call. I told him, ‘Son, you have lived your dream.’ He replied, ‘I understand. I’ve lived my dream for 23 years, and not getting picked for one or two matches won’t shatter that.’”
He added, “He was pissed off because he wasn’t picked. When I called him, he said, ‘Dad, I still haven’t found a place.’”
Gautam Gambhir’s Assurance of a Long Run in Team India
Easwaran quickly shifted focus to the upcoming Duleep Trophy. “My son will fly to Bengaluru to prepare for the Duleep Trophy. He’ll spend 10-12 days there, return to Dehradun for a few days, and then head back,” Ranganathan revealed.
According to his father, Easwaran’s motivation comes from a chat with head coach Gautam Gambhir. “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,” Ranganathan added.
Easwaran now waits patiently, trusting Gambhir’s word and continuing to work towards his dream of representing India.
