In 2019 bashed Bangladesh, WI and SA (at home).    On either side he has been abysmal. With India playing 5 bowlers (most of  them can't bat) is it wise to persist with someone giving such low returns?  

[zen]

His last 100 in SENA was in 2014 iirc .... No harm in trying guys like Gill 

[maniac]

Need to replace him with Gill ASAP

[Ankit_sharma03]

Ind-Aus Series will be make or break for him 

[Stan AF]

How old is he?. Need to bring in youngsters, if not. 

[Gollum]

Sucks in SENA, sucks in India, can't even catch properly these days...dropped 5-6 consecutive sitters in 2019 home series against RSA/BD. Only reason he is there is to make Kohli look good. Rahane will play 100 tests, Gill won't debut before 2025, Indian cricket circus. So unfair that Karun had to make way for this guy after a scintillating 300. 

[Gollum]

I don't think Rahane has a single MOS in his resume. Max he may fire in one innings and then be an idle spectator for rest of the series, sometimes he sucks the momentum and other times his comedy makes the pitch look 10x more treacherous sending other batters in a tizzy. Best example is that 2017 Pune test where his 15 mins Kathakali against Lyon/Keefe spread panic throughout the Indian dugout...did something similar against Wagner earlier this year.

 

Pujara was a total HTB before 2018 Aus but at least he was a beast in SC conditions. Players like Rahane add no value to the team.

Reminds me somewhat of Tendulkar kind of attitude - 1 100 per series, job done, fans happy w/ watching the video clips of straight drives

He's the only one who knows Sachin's FCA. 

 

Don't judge him.

What I like about Zen is he has a certain method and pattern to his madness, it’s not usually a thrown in statement. That’s something I can relate to .  
 

So I am curious about his breakthrough analysis that puts Rahane in the same bracket as Sachin . I mean we are going to get a new breakthrough analysis after RPT and FCA

One has a Test series win in AUS while other one is a glorified choker  

[Lone Wolf]

Rahane is done.  But we all know he will get to play at least 3 tests in Australia. Gill may get a game I think.

I compared the "attitude" not necessarily skills. Among batsmen of his calibre of his generation, Tendulkar has played the most # of series but has only a handful of MoS awards or even a big series, translating into a "relatively" low ratio. 

 

Excluding BD and Zim, 

 

Away

• Tendulkar has played 24 series overseas involving 3 tests or more, but only on 4 occasions he has been able to hit 2 or more 100s (has never hit 3 100s in a series) 
• Lara has played 14 series overseas, but on 4 occasions has hit 2 or more 100s (on 2 occasions, he hit 3 100s in a series) 

 

Home

• Tendulkar in 20 series with 3 or more tests at home as only on 2 occasions scored more than 2 or more 100s in a series (has never hit 3 100s in a series)
• Lara in 12 series with 3 or more tests at home has on on 4 occasions scored more than 2 or more 100s in a series (on 1 occasion, he hit 3 100s in a series)

For a relatively fluent batsman, many of his 100s were painstaking even on good surfaces like the 190 odd and 200 odd in Pak and Aus respectively .... For a guy who has played so much cricket, only memorable innings include his performance in 92 series in Aus and that 160 odd in SA

 

But many consider him the greatest probably for being better than Ganguly
