5 reasons why Abhinav Mukund's career might end after the Sri Lanka tour

Shikhar Dhawan came in as a replacement for KL Rahul but has quickly returned to form

#2 - Failure to cash in on opportunities

Mukund has had some very mediocre scores since his comeback

Abhinav Mukund made his Test debut in 2011 against West Indies. He scored 11 and 25 runs respectively in the first and the second innings of his debut Test.

His first Test fifty came in his fifth Test innings and he was out for a golden duck in the next innings.

In his second tour, he scored 64 runs in four innings in England and was subsequently dropped from the team.

He made a comeback in the Test team six years later and scored a duck in his comeback innings against Australia.

So far, the Tamil Nadu opener has scored 320 runs in 14 Test innings. In a career spanning for seven years, he has produced only two fifty plus scores and has a mediocre average of 22.85.

Courtesy of such poor returns, selectors may think of moving ahead of Mukund and he may be dropped from the team.
