New Delhi. The recent days have not been special for Ajinkya Rahane as the Indian vice-captain is battling for runs. In the ongoing five-match Test series against India (India vs England), the veteran has struggled against the swing. Apart from her 611 at Lord’s, Ajinkya Rahane doesn’t have much to show in the series. For this reason, many fans and expert players are questioning his place in the XI. Interestingly, after failing in the first three Tests, Rahane dropped to sixth position in the batting order. However, even after taking the order, nothing worked because the 33-year-old couldn’t do much in the fourth Test.
He scored 14 in the first innings of the fourth Test at the Oval and was dismissed for zero off three balls in the second innings. Talking about Rahane’s regular failures, former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria said that the team management was trying to bring down the experienced batsman. Emphasizing that Rahane is not in form, Danish Kaneria further said that Suryakumar Yadav or Hanuma Bihari should be given a place in the playing XI.

“I don’t understand why they are saving Ajinkya Rahane,” Danish Kaneria said on his YouTube channel. If he can’t perform well in this innings, open the door for Suryakumar Yadav or Hanuma Bihari. Rahane is not in form and does not know where his off stump is. If you know a player is out of form, you should replace him. The message goes to the opponent that you are saving the batsman.
As far as Ajinkya Rahane’s total in this series is concerned – she has scored only 109 runs in seven innings, averaging just 15. So, it will be interesting to see if the team management sticks with it. The last and fifth Test of the series is going to be held in Manchester.

At the end of the fourth day’s play (IND vs ENG), England were 77 for no wicket in the second innings. England need 291 runs on the last day, with all 10 wickets remaining.
