It looks like that the
Tamil Nadu batsman, S
Badrinath, is the best
option who can successfully replace VVS Laxman in the Indian squad that has
been announced for the Tests against New Zealand.
The 31-year-old player could
make
his place in the Indian squad after VVS Laxman announced his retirement
from international cricket with immediate effect on Saturday.
Badrinath has so far
played two Tests for India. Playing three innings, he has scored 63 runs with
a career best of 56 at an average of 21.00. He has played 7 ODI matches and
scored unbeaten 79 runs at an average of 15.80. He last played for his team in
2011 when India toured the West Indies.
However, Badrinath has a
very good record in domestic cricket. He was the highest run scorer in the
2010-11 Ranji Trophy. He scored 922 runs at 131.71. However, his performance in
the 2011-12 season was not that much satisfactory.
It is the time to see if
he can successfully replace VVS Laxman and make his place permanent in the
national side.
