Despite being continuously ignored for the Indian squad, former India A captain Abhimanyu Easwaran keeps proving his worth as he hits his fourth successive century in first-class cricket. With an average of 70-plus and over 1000 runs in just 16 innings this year, the 29-year-old is certainly proving to be a strong candidate for the India A team. However, even if he had been selected for the first Test against New Zealand, his opportunities would have been limited due to Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal's performances at the top.
