Ahead of Melbourne Test, Mumbai all-rounder Tanush Kotian to join India squad
Mumbai’s spin-bowling all-rounder, Tanush Kotian, has received his maiden call-up to the Indian squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Melbourne. He is set to depart for Australia on Tuesday, following R. Ashwin’s recent retirement announcement. Kotian, who has been a standout performer in the Indian domestic circuit, was part of the Mumbai team competing in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.
The 26-year-old has made a name for himself as one of the best off-spinning all-rounders, previously representing India A during their tour of Australia ahead of this series. His inclusion comes at a crucial time for the Indian team as they prepare for the final two Tests against Australia.
Kotian’s impressive domestic performances have earned him this opportunity, and he will look to make an impact on the international stage. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a valuable addition to the squad. As he joins his teammates in Melbourne, all eyes will be on Kotian to see how he adapts to the challenges of Test cricket at this level.
