New Delhi: While the batters of Team India on the Australia tour are struggling to play big innings, on the other hand, Ajinkya Rahane, who was once called the troubleshooter of Team India’s Test team, is creating a stir in domestic cricket. In the 5 match Test series against Australia, India has to win the series at any cost. They have to win 2 out of the remaining 3 matches and can draw one if they have to secure a place in the final of the World Test Championship, but looking at the condition of the Indian batsmen, it does not seem to be happening.
On the other hand, while playing for Mumbai in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024, Ajinkya Rahane’s bat is not stopping. Rahane has scored 4 half-centuries so far, in which his strike rate is better than many youngsters. On Wednesday, he played an innings of 84 runs against Vidarbha in the quarterfinal match and played only 45 balls for this. Rahane hit 10 fours and 3 sixes in his innings. Earlier, in the last group match, he scored 95 runs against Andhra Pradesh. This season, he has played a brilliant innings of 52 runs in 34 balls against Maharashtra and 68 runs in 35 balls against Kerala.
Ajinkya Rahane is in explosive form:
After seeing this innings of Rahane, the Indian selectors must be realizing their mistake. Not taking Rahane on the Australia tour seems to be costly. Rahane has scored 334 runs at an average of 56 in 7 matches played so far in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024. He has played 4 half-century innings so far and has scored runs at a strike rate of 168.
