Cheteswar Poojara-A skillful cricketer in the making

Every cricket lover of India must have watched Cheteswar Poojara playing cricket in the recently concluded Test series against England which was awarded as a Christmas& New year gift to England. Despite the presence of talented Batsmen& to some extent talented spinners in India, the Indian Team could not do anything to prevent England from leaving the land with Enormous amount of Glory after winning a Series in India since a very long time. If this can happen in India ,then it is better to forget what is going to happen around the World when India visits different countries in future! But after having lost miserably ,some so called critics of Indian Cricket have formed a New habit of blaming Sachin Tendulkar& MahendraSingh Dhoni for every disaster! Let us leave it aside or conveniently forget what had happened.WHAT IS DONE AND HAPPENED CAN NEVER BECOME UNDONE& UNHAPPENED! Now let us come to the present.Cheteswar Poojara was selected to the one day squad because of taking into account his talent playing cricket technically the real way In which the game should be played. Resting him in RAJKOT in his home ground is justified to some extent being a tired man From his outing in the Ranji matches.But if he is continued to be kept as a teammate engaged in bringing caps,Bats& water to the players in the middle at Kochi also,then the cricket loving fans won't forgive the selectors,coach& captain because such a course of action amounts not only criminal waste of talent & time of Poojara but in the prospects of Sourashtra in Ranji matches adversely as well!!! Cheteswar Poojara should play in the rest of 4 matches in the one day series against England without showing any kind of indifference to him.He should not become a victim or a scapegoat as in the case of what happened to Rohit Sharma of Bombay . The playing posion for Poojara in the Team is the headache of Captain& Coach.If necessary ,there should not be any kind of reluctance in including him as an opener in the position of Gautam Gambhir.
