Overview

  • He said selection is the committee’s decision, adding he has not thought about retirement and will keep playing while fit.
  • His remarks were widely interpreted as a veiled critique of Ajit Agarkar’s panel, which has not picked him since the 2022 T20 World Cup.
  • He pointed to recent output, taking 17 wickets in 14 matches during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s 2025 IPL title run.
  • He is captaining Lucknow Falcons in the UP T20 League with nine wickets in eight games and played the Sept 3 Eliminator.
  • He argued consistent performers should not be ignored and said Rajeev Shukla’s BCCI elevation could make overlooking talent harder, with no selector response or recall announced.
