The former India National Cricket Team opening batsman Aakash Chopra has now shared his views on the matter and bluntly stated that Ruturaj Gaikwad's snub can't be termed favoritism or bias.
After that, the teams will lock horns in three one-day games, on September 30, October 03, and October 05, respectively, in Kanpur.
There was no place for the 28-year-old Ruturaj Gaikwad in the squad despite the batter averaging 41.77 in first-class cricket and recently playing a stunning knock of 184 runs against Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy.
It's not favoritism or bias - Aakash Chopra on Ruturaj Gaikwad's snub
"Ruturaj Gaikwad scored 184 recently in the Duleep Trophy. However, he didn't score runs in the India A shadow tour during the BGT time, where he was the captain. He was part of the India A squad for the England tour, but didn't play. So he has been there and thereabouts.
"He had an average of 38 in the 2024 Duleep Trophy. He didn't score a lot of runs in the Irani Trophy. He didn't score too many runs against Australia A, and he has played only four matches in the last two Ranji seasons."

"In the same breath, Rajat Patidar, who also scored runs in the Duleep Trophy. He was elevated at one point, got a chance to play for the country. He was given opportunities in the series against England. There was hope that he would score runs as the conditions and pitches were good, but he didn't score there.
