Ajinkya Rahane's poor form in Test cricket has become a problem for Team India. Rahane once again flopped in the second Test against England. India's middle order is falling apart due to the weak batting of Ajinkya Rahane. Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli are already struggling with poor form. On top of this, due to the poor batting of Ajinkya Rahane, India's middle order is shattered even after being such a senior player.
Ajinkya Rahane was criticized a lot after failing in the first Test, but his batting did not improve in the first innings of the second Test. Rahane returned to the pavilion after scoring just 1 run in 23 balls.
In the first test match, Team India's top order was demolished by Anderson. Batsmen like Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara died in front of Anderson's swing, but the worst performance was done by Ajinkya Rahane. When the team needed Ajinkya Rahane the most in times of trouble, he was irresponsibly run out. Rahane returned to the pavilion after scoring 5 runs.
Ajinkya Rahane's performance has been under question for some time now. Ajinkya is unable to prove himself to Rahane, so he may not get much opportunities. If he does not do anything special on this tour, then his card can be cut from the Test team.
Ajinkya Rahane's place in the Indian cricket team is in danger. Although Ajinkya Rahane played a brilliant innings of 49 runs in the first innings of the World Test Championship final (WTC Final) match, but for some time he has not been able to perform with the bat, for which he is known. In such a situation, his vice-captain can also go.
If the Indian team is thinking of ousting Ajinkya Rahane, then the burden of vice-captaincy can be put on Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma can be made the vice-captain. Rohit Sharma proved himself in the first innings of the second test against England. Team India got a good start and played a strong innings of 83 runs.
