Bengal veteran Abhimanyu Easwaran shaped his 27th first-class hundred by scoring an unbeaten 127 against Uttar Pradesh in the Elite Group C match of the 2024 Ranji Trophy season. The innings marked Easwaran’s fourth century in his last four matches, and fifth in his past six appearances.

The elegant right-handed batter listed consecutive hundreds against India C and India D during the 2024 Duleep Trophy season last month, and subsequently whacked 191 against Ranji Trophy winners Mumbai at the Irani Cup in Lucknow. As Easwaran continues to mount big runs in first-class cricket, fans are now advocating for the 29-year-old to join India’s touring party to Australia later this year, at least as a backup opener.

Shortly after Abhimanyu Easwaran slapped his 27th first-class ton and his fifth hundred-plus score in his past six matches, fans flocked to social media and urged the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to select Bengal veteran as one of India’s backup openers for this year’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy tour of Australia.
