The Test match between India and England is going to start from June 20, but before that the social media post of a star player of Team India has raised questions. This is the player who recently had to return to India from England. These players are veteran fast bowler Mukesh Kumar, who was part of the India A team on the recent tour of England but he did not get a place in the squad for the Test series. He has posted a post on social media, in which it has been written about getting the fruits of deeds.
What did Mukesh Kumar write?
Before explaining the whole matter, you know a little background. Before the Test series starting between India and England, a series of two informal Test matches was also played between India A and England Lions. Some of the players selected for this series have also got a place in Team India’s Test squad. At the same time, the rest of the players have returned to the country after the Intra-Squad match.
Mukesh Kumar is also one of the players who returned, who was seen confirming his place in Team India till a few months ago. But this time this 31 -year -old bowler could not find a place in the senior team. In such a situation, after returning to India, Mukesh posted a story on the Instagram account on Wednesday 18 June, in which he wrote, “Karma takes your time. You have to be alert always. You have to be alert. Do not forgive and take revenge.”

Is Mukesh upset about this?
This one post has raised questions that why are Mukesh writing this? Are they targeting someone? Is he not targeting the head coach Gautam Gambhir? Cricket fans believe at least this on social media and the reason for this is also being told. In fact, Mukesh did not get a place in the Test team, while he has been a part of Team India’s planning for the last two years.
Dig to Gambhir?

Exactly! He was up in the packing order Before Harshit Rana. Since Rana is Gautam Gambhir’s favorite, so he dropped mukesh.

But during the team selection, Mukesh did not post such a post, so why are they writing all this? Fans believe that the reason for this is the sudden place in the Test team for young fast bowler Harshit Rana. Harshit was also not a part of the Test squad and was playing only for India A. But after the completion of the journey of India A, where the rest of the players returned, Harshit was included at the last moment.

Gambhir’s choice is cheerful
Harshit and Mukesh played only the first Test match for India A on this tour. In this match, both of them got a chance to bowl in one innings. In this, Mukesh took 3 wickets for 92 runs in 25 overs, while Harshit took only 1 wicket for 95 runs in 27 overs. Despite this, he was stopped while Mukesh, who had played 3 Tests and took 210 wickets in 52 first class matches, was not returned.
It is not hidden from anyone that the head coach Gautam Gambhir has been the first choice of the backup bowlers. In IPL 2025, Harshit performed a strong performance under the guidance of Gambhir, who was a mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders. Since then, when Gambhir became the coach of India, Harshit also managed to make his debut in Team India in all three formats within a few months. He was even included in the Central Contract despite not playing the match against BCCI’s rules. In such a situation, Harshit is considered to be the reason for this post of Mukesh.
