Has Rahane deservingly sealed his backup spot in ODIs


Recommended Posts

FOUR out of FOUR. Yes, I know it is against hapless West Indies but Rahane has really demonstrated tremendous consistency and today's innings is really the "need of the hour" innings. Dinesh Karthik should have never played today:facepalm: and I would have liked to see Risabh Pant in his place. 

But Rahane on the other hand has been commendable and won the spot in the side. FOUR consecutive fifties is not a joke. When the great batsman captain himself is getting out very cheaply every other innings, it has been Rahane all the way who is the one rescuing the team. :agree:

WI is a weak team, and his last 2 knocks could/should have been faster towards end. He starts off quickly (19 off 19 in previous match, and 35 off 40) and then crawls along like a snail.

He is good against pace and uncomfortable against spin.  He likes the ball to come on to the bat.

 

So, it is on expected lines and makes him a limited ODI batter .

This is a paradigm that is becoming rather common I feel.

not after today's knock..no way. * is the reason India lost. Should have finished the match as he was set batsman. But nah...he is a loser of the highest order. Dhoni is another chutiya...this hahane+dhoni combo need to be flushed down the toilet.

Tomorrow, Hahane will flop. Last two innings have been extremely lousy. In both matches he is guilty of not accelerating and getting out at the wrong time. This became more obvious in the last game. Law of averages will catch up and he is going to score a big fat duck. End of his career after this game. Bet on it.

Given that our frontline openers are tuk tuk, rahane is the perfect back up

Our entire batting lineup is tuk tuk except for Kedar and Pandya. :laugh1: Everyone wants to build their own platform before takeoff. :laugh:

It has only begun, the other overseas tours will be more challenging.

336 runs at an average of 67.2 and strike rate of 77.06 with three 4 50+ scores (that includes a century) and a 39. Pretty consistent figures for Rahane and he probably will put pressure on KL Rahul for the opening spot.
