ND VS AUS: The batsman who landed by parachute in Perth failed, who played with the batsman already present in the team, who will take responsibility for the injustice?

New DelhiYou must have heard a lot about parachute entry on the field of politics, but it happens very rarely on the field of sports that despite not being in the squad, a player is not only added to the team but is also included in the playing eleven. Team India made many changes at the Optus ground in Perth, but the selection that was most discussed was the one which became a record by getting out on zero.

The news coming from the practice session in Perth was that the one batsman who was dropped from the India A team was being given a lot of time in the nets. Indications also started coming that this batsman can play his second test. Coach Gautam Gambhir’s fondness for left-handed batsmen confirmed this and when both the captains changed the list at the time of toss, that batsman’s name was there. This batsman is Devdutt Paddikal

Tradition put aside for Paddikal

For years, this tradition has been seen in Team India that the one who is already in the team will get the chance first. But here the opposite happened. Paddikal was selected for number three and he could not open his account. India lost its second wicket for just 14 runs. The left-handed batsman, who was included in the squad in place of injured Shubman Gill just 24 hours before the Perth Test, played a total of 22 balls and was out with a score of 0 on the 23rd ball. Padikkal wanted to defend towards covers, but poor footwork and The angle of the bat cost him dearly. His lazy innings ended on a brilliant ball.

Abhimanyu Easwaran could not break the maze of selection

The big question is what did Devdutt Paddikal do that he was parachuted onto the field and then went straight into playing. And if Easwaran is such a bad batsman then why was he selected in the team in the first place. It is believed that Paddikal played for India A in Australia and Easwaran could not score runs. Then there are many batsmen in the team who do not have a place in the team. Abhimanyu Easwaran is an opening batsman and in the form he is in, he would have been more beneficial for the team. But as if the team management is under the influence of left-handed batsmen, Abhimanyu Easwaran, who was already present in the team, was sidelined and played by Paddikal, but unfortunately after seeing his batting, it did not appear that he is in very good form.
