Abhinav Mukund has to consider himself unlucky for not playing more matches for India. After scoring nearly 10000 runs at a healthy average in the domestic circuit, Abhinav has established himself as one of the best red ball batsmen in the country.

It is evident by the fact that he has managed to maintain his consistency for almost one decade now. After doing all the hard work, all he managed was to play just seven matches for India in Test cricket. He made his debut for India in Jamaica in 2011 and played his last match for his country in Galle in 2017, yes, he managed to play just seven matches in six years.

In his last game for India, he scored 81 runs in the second innings against Sri Lanka and put India on top. However, he couldn't add more matches to his tally as he was dropped for the next match after the return of the regular opener KL Rahul. He was ahead of Shikhar Dhawan in the pecking order before the series started but the Delhi batsman scored a majestic 190 in the same game and cemented his place in the XI.
