Ajinkya Rahane's weakness against spin


Recommended Posts

On turners he is better than Kohli and Dhawan. Maybe as good as Vijay. Only Pujara and Rahul can be considered better. However in all other conditions he gets out too often to spin.

 

He has 32 dismissals against spinners compared to 29 against pacers. That too when he hasn't play much at home. 

 

Is it common to Bombay players? They are generally better against pace than against spin?

Not necessarily. Maybe he takes more chances against spinners and cautious against pace bowlers. The dismissal ratio you point is pretty even.

Vijay is awesome on turners, he played some match defining knocks against SA and NZ on turners. Rahane is far below Vijay on turners,

This man averages 54+ in first class cricket & has 29 100s.That means if we remove his international stats(avg: of 45+)  from this , his remaining stats(mostly domestic)  gets even more impressive.Naturally he would have played quality spin bowling a lot in ranji trophy and other NATIONAL  first class cricket on rank turners.Yet when playing for India he is so mediocre. This is irony at its very best and such a disappointing trend because of him being the most reliable batsman in overseas tough assignments. Reasons?????
