Indian Cricket team has now set the Template of the squad, The Bench Strength the players who are left out, there is so much talent in India. Sometimes the people who are benched are unlucky, But the Indian team can at a moment play three teams. The Talent, The Hard work of young Players have set this Template for the Indian team. Senior Players are given chances backed because they have proved themselves in the Past. Pujara and Rahan for the Indian test team are clear examples.
Gambhir Feels Vihari Should be Given More Chances
In the second test In the absence of Virat, Hanuma Vihari was brought into the play. He has surely been a Champion he has been someone who has proved himself out there. A world-class attack of Australian bowlers was coming to all guns blazing in a do-or-die match. Hanuma Vihari stood tall against those bowlers and showed some real character and saved the match. He was on and off due to Injury after that match. He surely has proved himself.
Hanuma Vihari at the start wasn’t included in the squad too, Indian selectors were slammed, There were questions raised on everybody in the Committee. But later he was added to the squad and then Indian fans were happy about it. Gambhir said “Hanuma Vihari should get the first opportunity now. He should be backed as much as Ajinkya Rahane was backed, if not more than at least for 2-3 series.” There are high chances of a few changes in the playing eleven of India.
They have backed Ajinkya for a while now, he has been a wonderful player, but as the bench strength increases, The Fans and everyone starts looking at every Individual because playing for India is a big deal and you can be backed but at some limit there comes a time when senior players might not play and young and deserving players may get a chance. The Indian team will surely give Hanuma a chance. There are chances of Rahane or Pujara who might not be a part of the Playing eleven.
