It is not favoritism or bias – Aakash Chopra on the snub of Ruturaj Gaikwad
Speaking on his official YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra stated that Ruturaj Gaikwad has ignored a team of India because other players have delivered better performance than he did. He went out:
“Ruturaj Gaikwad recently scored 184 in the Duleep trophy. However, he did not score runs in the India a Shadow Tour during the BGT -where he was the captain. He was part of the India a Squad for the England Tour, but he wasn’t there. So there he and therabout.
“The thing that goes against Ruturaj is that what he did is fine, but the others come after the performance. After the set of domestic cricket, people come. You could say that if Shreyas Iyer is kept, Ruturaj can also be kept. It is an eye test. It is an eye test. It is an eye test.
“He had an average of 38 in the Duleep trophy of 2024. He didn’t score many runs in the Irani trophy. He didn’t score too many runs against Australia A, and he only played four games in the last two Ranji seasons.”
He was elevated at one point, had the opportunity to play for the country – Aakash Chopra on Rajat Patidar
Aakash Chopra further said that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) skipper Rajat Patidar is in the same position as Ruturaj Gaikwad. He was of the opinion that the selection committee moved past Patidar after his failures with the bat in limited opportunities in test cricket. Chopra said:
“In the same breath, Rajat Patidar, who also scored runs in the Duleep trophy. He was raised at one point, had the opportunity to play for the country. He had opportunities in the series against England. There was hope he would score points because the circumstances and pitches were good, but he didn’t score there.
“For the short term, that ship also sailed, the bus has left the bus stop for both. It seems that the Indian selectors have started in a slightly different direction.”
