Former India captain Sourav Ganguly feels that Ajinkya Rahane’s poor run with the bat would not be much of a concern for the Indian team in the upcoming series against South Africa. Rahane was an outright struggle against Sri Lanka, only managed to score 17 runs in five innings. However, his record outside the sub continent is as good as any player in team India, and Ganguly feels he would come good in South African pitches.
” No, I don’t think Ajinkya Rahane’s form is a concern as he is a quality player. Virat Kohli, Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Vijay have all been to South Africa. The best thing is that they are going back to South Africa as better players,” Ganguly told PTI.
“Rohit Sharma did well in the two chances that he got. If it’s a flat track, may be we should have that extra fast bowler in the XI but if it’s a green top, we should definitely have an extra batsman,” he opined.
