3 forgotten batters who can make an international comeback after Ranji season
The 2026-27 Ranji Trophy could be the stage these three batters need to force their way back into India's Test plans.
1. Prithvi Shaw (Maharashtra)
Prithvi Shaw has been named captain of Maharashtra for the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season, a significant responsibility that places him at the centre of one of the competition's prominent sides. Shaw, who made his Test debut as a teenager and was once considered a future cornerstone of India's batting lineup, has been out of the national picture for an extended period.
Taking on the captaincy role for Maharashtra signals a fresh chapter in his domestic career. A commanding season with the bat, combined with the added responsibility of leading his side, could provide the selectors with a compelling case to revisit his credentials for a Test return.
