One of the finest young batters in India but Ruturaj Gaikwad continues to be devoid of consistent opportunities in the Indian team, in any of the three formats.
Despite scoring runs on a regular basis in domestic cricket, be it in white-ball cricket or red-ball, Ruturaj hasn't been able to earn the selectors' trust.
The opening batter was overlooked for the Bangladesh T20I series, with suggestions emerging that his absence is due to the selection committee's red-ball plans for him.
But, as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Gaikwad's name was nowhere to be found.
