Ganguly Backs Easwaran for India's No. 3 Test Spot
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly thinks Abhimanyu Easwaran should bat third for the Test team.
Even though Easwaran has been in the team for three years, he has not played a match.
Ganguly believes the number 3 spot is a weak spot, and Easwaran should be tried there.
Easwaran has played 103 matches and has almost 8000 runs.
Now, Ganguly wants him to play at the No.
3 position.
Sourav Ganguly suggests Abhimanyu Easwaran for India's No. 3 Test batting position.
Easwaran has been in the Test squad for three years without a debut.
The No. 3 position was viewed as vulnerable during the recent England series.
Easwaran has played 103 first-class matches, scoring 7841 runs with an average of 48.70.
Ganguly believes Easwaran will be given a chance soon.
