Ajit Agarkar has been appointed as the Chairman of Selectors for Team India. It is an important position considering the context of the role and the decisions that need to be taken. In the past, Ajit had served as the Chief Selector for the Mumbai Team. He had then made some bold calls and it may not be a surprise if he has to make a few more of them with respect to Team India. It could happen with the selection for the T20I series against West Indies. On that note, here, we take a look at three popular cricketers whom Ajit Agarkar dropped from the squad when he was the Mumbai Chief Selector.
1) Suryakumar Yadav
Suryakumar Yadav actually had a rollercoaster ride while playing for Mumbai before he got selected for Team India. In one phase, he was out of form and Ajit took the bold call of dropping him. It was a strong decision because SKY was one of the established batters for Mumbai and there would have been criticism if the other players did not do well.
2) Dhawal Kulkarni
Dhawal Kulkarni is one of the popular cricketers whom Ajit Agarkar dropped from the squad when he was the Mumbai Chief Selector. For a long period of time, Dhawal has led the Mumbai pace attack. However, in recent years, his form has dropped. Ajit Agarkar had made the decision at one point to drop Dhawal from the squad.
3) Aditya Tare
Aditya Tare was the wicketkeeper for Mumbai for a long time. Ajit Agarkar had also made the decision to drop him from the setup after a run of poor form. Tare was an experienced cricketer. Hence, eaving him out of the squad with not many solid replacement options was a bold call by the former India all-rounder.
