Ajinkya Rahane's weakness against spin

[Trichromatic]

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.

[Straight Drive]

32 to 29 is almost even dismissals against both types of bowling.

Stumped records for each batsman.

 

Tendulkar 200 Tests 329 Innings 1 stumped
Dravid 164 Tests 286 innings 1 stumped
Gavaskar 125 Tests 214 innings 2 stumped
Azharuddin 99 Tests 147 innings 1 stumped
Kohli 63 Tests 105 innings 0 stumped
Pujara 54 Tests 89 innings 1 stumped
 

 

Rahane got out stumping 3 times in this year alone.

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

[Vilander]

I dont remember clearly but i believe only Puj KL and Vijay picked lyon, others had no fn clue.

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?????

[ravishingravi]

We in general look at our weakest against spin. 

[vvvslaxman]

Today but for "umpires call" he would have been leg before. Even before he got out he had some anxious moments against spinner.

[GolGappe]

His career is hanging by a thread.

Couple more disastrous innings in RSA and he could be gone for good.

[wanted_desi]

He should be taking time off from ODIs and work on his technique against spinners. SA got a good spinner this time around.

Maybe as good as Vijay when it comes to playing spin? 

 

Maybe if you break a hand and a leg of Vijay and ask him to play on a raging turner with blindfolds on.
