Abhimanyu shifted to Kolkata at the age of 10, and it was Nirmal\u2019s tutelage that helped him grow and develop, not only as a cricketer but as a person as well. The 29-year-old stayed with his coach in the \u2018Donga\u2019 district during his time in Kolkata and often attributed his success to the coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cEvery coach dreams of his student playing for the India team. I too felt great. Abhimanyu got a place in the national team today. He has been practising with me for 10-15 years. I am very optimistic that he will get to play, with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli\u2019s absence, and he will give his best for the national team. He was travelling to England for the India \u2018A\u2019 series and called me earlier today to let me know he was selected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"(On his message to his students) The example is right in front of your eyes, how he was groomed to become a player for India at this very ground. For me, the idols were Sachin Tendulkar and Ganguly, but for these kids, Abhimanyu Easwaran is their idol,\u201d Nirmal Sengupta told IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Easwaran was a member of the Indian team during their 3-1 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) series loss in Australia, but didn\u2019t get to play a single game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
