Battling a prolonged slump, Abhinav Mukund went into the Ranji Trophy game against Saurashtra with doubts in his mind. By the end of Day Two, he had faced 433 balls, scored 240 runs and found his form.
Tamil Nadu coach WV Raman had a role to play in helping the talented opener make this turn. "He was trying too much. It happens when you're not scoring runs," Raman told The Indian Express.
Things had been going awry for Mukund after he was dropped from of the Indian team after the 2011 tour of England. After the snub, runs started to dry up on the domestic circuit as well. He did come up with a few fine knocks but Mukund had lost his prolific run-scoring streaks. Before this game, he had 102 runs in three Ranji outings.
Raman says Mukund should take inspiration from former India captain Sourav Ganguly who made a great comeback to the Indian team in 1996. "He's just 23. Sourav was left out of the Indian team for four years after 1992. Look how he came back," said Raman
