Ayush Pandey seeks VVS Laxman's mentorship to revive India-A form

Ayush Pandey has become the first cricketer from Chhattisgarh to earn selection for India-A, marking a significant achievement for the state. However, his recent performances have presented a tough reality—his last four innings have been challenging, signalling that breaking into the elite squad is only half the battle.

Retaining his place in India-A will require renewed focus and improved consistency. Pandey is relying on the guidance of India-A coach VVS Laxman to help him overcome the current slump and establish himself more firmly in the squad. Laxman's experience and mentorship are expected to play a key role in steering Pandey back to form.
