India squad for Australia Test series in 2017: Where are they now?
The last time India hosted Australia for the iconic four-match Test series was back in 2017 and the Men in Blue grabbed the bragging rights, clinching the series 2-1.
7. Abhinav Mukund
Abhinav Mukund was included in the squad for the four-match Test series against Australia as a backup opener. As Vijay was ruled out of the second test due to a left shoulder injury, Mukund was drafted into the starting XI. However, he failed to make the opportunity count and registered scores of 0 and 16 in the first and second innings respectively.
With Vijay back to full fitness for the following games of the series, Mukund was sidelined from the playing XI. The Tamil Nadu-born represented India only once post the 2017 edition of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Overall, he featured in seven Tests and could only score 320 runs at an average of 22.85.
Though Mukund failed to shine in the international arena, he continued scoring truckloads of runs in the domestic circuit. The southpaw played 145 first-class games and plundered 10258 runs at an average of 47.93. He has also been a part of the commentary panel during some editions of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL).
