Ajinka Rahane eyeing for comeback in team
Rahane is eager to stake his claim once again to the Indian Test team. Following India’s tour to South Africa earlier this year, the right-hander was removed from the Test team. He didn’t play against Sri Lanka, England, or Bangladesh, but if he continues to score, he will undoubtedly be selected for India’s Test matches against Australia the following year.
Rahane has scored 4931 runs at an average of 38.52 in 82 Test matches, including 12 hundreds and 25 half-centuries.
