Summary
- Abhimanyu Easwaran turns 31 today, playing in Duleep Trophy final.
- He is a consistent run-scorer for Bengal in domestic cricket.
- Easwaran has been a standby player for the Indian Test squad.
Abhimanyu Easwaran, a prominent right-handed opening batter from Bengal, marks his 31st birthday on September 6, 2026. His special day is highlighted by his participation in the crucial Duleep Trophy 2026 final, representing East Zone against South Zone. The match commenced earlier today.
Easwaran, born in Dehradun, moved to Kolkata at age 10 to pursue cricket, nurtured by his father. He debuted in First-Class cricket for Bengal in the 2013-14 season, becoming a vital part of their batting lineup. His highest First-Class score is 233.
He has also excelled in List A and T20 formats and has been a consistent member of India A squads. Easwaran captained Bengal in the Ranji Trophy and was the team's leading run-scorer in the 2018-19 season with 861 runs.
Despite his impressive domestic record, a senior Test cap for India remains elusive. Easwaran has been named as a standby player for India's Test squad on several occasions, including for series against England and Australia. He was also part of the IPL 2026 auction process.
As he celebrates his birthday, Easwaran remains focused on scoring runs and aiming for a national call-up. His current involvement in the Duleep Trophy underscores his dedication to cricket.
