Former India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane paid the price for his inconsistent form when he was dropped from India’s Test squad last week for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka. Along with Rahane, several other senior players Cheteshwar Pujara, Wriddhiman Saha and Ishant Sharma were also shown the exit door by the senior national selection panel and were asked to play Ranji Trophy for their respective state units. © Reuters On his return to the domestic circuit after a long time, the Mumbai batter stole the limelight by scoring a century against defending champions Saurashtra in the first innings as the match ended in a draw. It was the first century to have come off Rahane’s bat in over 12 months. His knock had increased the hopes of his fans who wanted him to succeed in domestic cricket and make a comeback to the Indian team. © Reuters However, they were all left disappointed on Thursday morning when the right-handed batter got out for a three-ball duck in the first innings against Goa. Rahane was trapped leg before by young fast bowler Lakshay Garg. Even when Rahane was in the Indian team, consistency was an issue and that’s what cost him his place in the side. After he failed to open his account, the people started trolling him, saying that the old habits don’t die that easily and he had returned to his normal.

He scored two boundaries during his brief stay in the middle and was dismissed for eight runs. © Reuters Both Rahane and Pujara have served the Indian cricket team for a long time and have played a key role in the team's success all over the world. However, their poor form has forced the selectors to look for their alternatives. Although the selectors have not shut the door on them completely, it’s hard to see them making a comeback to the red-ball squad. The only way both these senior players can force the selectors to pick them is by piling runs on a consistent basis. These hits and misses are not going to help their cause. View the full article

Why is Hardik Pandya not playing for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2021? That is the question every single fan of the franchise has been asking each other, and to the franchise as well. Twitter is flooded with speculations on Pandya not being completely healthy, while others feel that MI is just being extra cautious in his case. The fact of the matter is that the reigning champions haven’t looked like themselves in the last two matches, ever since the second leg of IPL 2021 started in the United Arab Emirates and skipper Rohit Sharma would be happy to get all the help that he can get his hands on. View this post on Instagram Under such circumstances, the talents of someone like Pandya, who was once considered to be the modern-day equivalent of the great Kapil Dev for the Men in Blue, could come in extremely handy for the Hitman, and his attempt at three-peating the IPL championship. Unless, of course Pandya continues to remain unfit and is struggling with his back bad enough to be recommended to stay out of action. If that is the scenario, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has some explaining to do about his selection in the final Team India roster for the T20 World Cup 2021, which begins in less than a month’s time. Fans have been wondering about Pandya and his unusual predicament: No Hardik Pandya? Do we know why? #MUMvsKKR #IPL2021 — Vikrant Gupta (@vikrantgupta73) September 23, 2021If Hardik Pandya is not fit to play for MI, why is he not at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru? — Amit (@nottheamit) September 24, 2021Who is Hardik Pandya ???? A cricketer who cannot play Crick matches IF he plays, He will either bowl or Bat Why are we even considering him A cricketer who cannot give his 100 percent but on insta sabka baap bana firta hai #Jamaicanbreed https://t.co/30968jwCGS — Balwant Rawat (@BalliRawat0511) September 23, 2021Hardik Pandya unavailable for back to back 2 #IPL2021 Games Meanwhile selectors who included him in WC Squad: pic.twitter.com/GDEDeHL8iD — Tanishq Ganu (@smart__leaks) September 23, 2021Give us a fukin' COMEBACK @hardikpandya7 pic.twitter.com/yEYHWT73J0 — Aᴀʀʏᴀɴ ❥ (@billyDurai) September 19, 2021And it isn’t just the fans who are wondering what is wrong with the all-rounder. Former Indian wicket-keeper batsman Saba Karim has also shown his concerns towards Pandya, his injury status and the implication it could have on the Men in Blue during the World Cup. While speaking during a discussion of YouTube channel “Khelneeti”, Karim asked why Pandya was selected if he was injured. “He (Hardik) is a big player. But the question now is when he was selected for the Indian team, was he fully fit or not? If he was fit then it is justified. But if not, then when did this niggle happen? If he was carrying that injury then why was he selected? The general rule is - you have to prove your fitness and go to NCA and come back. This rule applies to everyone. So, the question is right but we don't know what has exactly happened with Pandya,” said Karim. Having said that, the Mumbai Indians ace is expected to be seen in action during the exciting clash against Virat Kohli’s increasingly desperate Royal Challengers Bangalore, who will be hoping to get back to their winning ways after also losing both their matches since the 2021 season resumed in the Middle East.
