Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Mukund struck the headlines when he shared a famous quadruple-century opening stand for Tamil Nadu with fellow Test opener, Murali Vijay. Mukund had started off with a slightly poor on-side game, with a tendency to go cross-batted with the glance with his head falling over to the off-side but his appetite for runs and his knack for getting stuck at the crease and scoring consistently big was certainly difficult to ignore for the selectors. His comeback after some poor form during the U-19 World Cup to score a triple-hundred in Ranji cricket showed his immense mental strength and batting ability. With four seasons of first-class experience, Abhinav still averaged 60 and used this weight of runs to force himself into the Test fold.
Mukund received his Test cap on the tour to the Caribbean islands in the hangover of the World Cup victory as India rested its regular openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. Mukund scored just one fifty in the three Tests in the Caribbean, but showed temperament beyond his years and looked comfortable at the crease. This earned him a place in the squad for the tour of England later that year. Mukund made 49 in the in the Lord's Test, but was found out against the laterally moving ball in the three innings that followed and struggled to such an extent that Virender Sehwag had to be recalled for the third Test without having fully recovered from his shoulder injury.
Mukund has improved his game and corrected his flaws after the tour, but has remained in the fringes, often representing the India A side. He had an outstanding 2016/17 Ranji season, scoring 849 runs including four hundreds. This brought him yet another shot at Test cricket as India set off for the one-off Test against Bangladesh with four openers:

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Abhinav Mukund is a fluent batsman through the off side with a penchant for big scores. Before his 20th birthday, this left-hand Tamil Nadu opener had to his name a triple-century, hundreds on Ranji and Irani Trophy debuts, and a quadruple-century opening stand for his state side with fellow India Test opener, M Vijay. A batsman who in his early seasons showed some weakness in his on-side game - often playing around the front pad - Abhinav has gone on to score runs in bulk, consistently.
When picked in India's squad for the U-19 World Cup in Malaysia in 2008, Abhinav ran into poor form and didn't get a game during India's World Cup victory. However, he came back and followed it up with the triple-century, and loads of other runs. After four seasons of first-class cricket, Abhinav averaged 60, and was chosen to open for India after both Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir were injured before India's tour of the West Indies in 2011. A couple of steady knocks in the Test series got him into the squad for the England tour that followed, as the reserve opener.
Following that tour, Abhinav was not considered for Tests but he went back to representing India A several times. He had a standout 2016-17 Ranji Trophy season, scoring 849 runs including four hundreds. That made Abhinav India's first-choice reserve-opener in Tests as he was selected as back-up for India's first home Test against Bangladesh in February 2017. He had to wait till the Bengaluru Test in March against Australia to make his return though, before a string of injuries to India's openers on the tour of Sri Lanka had him feature in the tour's first Test in Galle. He posted 81 in the game's second innings, his highest Test score till date.
