In 2022, 5 Indian cricketers underperformed. A key opener struggled with a low strike rate and inconsistent scores, another failed to capitalize on limited opportunities, a fast bowler had trouble maintaining economy, and a middle-order batsman couldn\u2019t secure a permanent position, leading to exclusions. These performances raised concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Mayank Agarwal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Mayank Agarwal<\/a> impressed with a fifty in the 2021 Boxing Day Test in South Africa. However, his subsequent performances, including scores of 23, 26, 15, and 7, contributed to India’s losses in the final two Tests. After KL Rahul’s injury, Agarwal played in two home Tests against Sri Lanka but managed only 59 runs. With the return of key players like Rahul, Sharma, and Shubman Gill, Agarwal\u2019s chances of a recall to the Test side appear slim for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Ruturaj Gaikwad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After a stellar IPL 2021, Ruturaj Gaikwad struggled to capitalize on his opportunities for Team India in 2022. Despite being given chances in 7 T20Is and 1 ODI, he scored only 119 runs at a disappointing average of 17 and a strike rate of 97, with just one fifty-plus score. Batting at the top, Gaikwad\u2019s performances fell short, especially as his teammates made impactful contributions. Fans were left hoping for more from the CSK opener in national colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Avesh Khan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Avesh Khan was identified as India\u2019s high-pace bowler for T20s and received plenty of opportunities in 2022<\/a>, featuring in 15 T20Is while senior bowlers were unavailable. However, the 25-year-old struggled to make an impact, taking 13 wickets but conceding over 9 runs per over. His inconsistency led to his exclusion after the Asia Cup, and he hasn’t been recalled since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Hanuma Vihari<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hanuma Vihari\u2019s omission from the upcoming Bangladesh Test series highlights the selectors\u2019 disappointment with his 2022 performances. In 7 Test innings, he averaged a decent 35 but struggled to make a significant impact. After being tried at number 3 following Pujara\u2019s exclusion, Vihari failed to capitalize on the opportunity, ultimately leading to his drop from the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Shikhar Dhawan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shikhar Dhawan\u2019s performance in 2022 has raised concerns, with an underwhelming average of 37 in 20 ODIs and a poor strike rate of 74<\/a>. His lack of big scores, with only one over 30 in his last 7 innings, has put his place in jeopardy. Despite the management’s backing, continued underperformance could lead to the inclusion of a more in-form and aggressive Shubman Gill. With the 2023 ODI World Cup approaching, India may prioritize players in peak form over veterans who aren’t delivering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
