From r/cricket:

 

A poster asked what's wrong with rahane? This answer surprised me.

• Doesn't play in Ranji Trophy (played 5 Ranji games since 2014)
• Doesn't play in Vijay Hazare (just 5 Vijay Hazare games since 2016)
• Doesn't play in Syed Mushtaq Ali (8 Syed Mushtaq Ali games since April 2012)
• Gets benched in the IPL cuz of Shaw and Dhawan (115 deliveries faced in IPL since 2020)
• Got dropped from ODIs after March 2018
• Got dropped from T20Is after September 2016

 

For someone who is failing regularly, it boggles my mind that he did not continue playing in domestic to come out of a slump and bad forms. For all the talk of goodness, black belt, talent, lobby power, why the F would you not try to improve your game? He needs to be kicked out. His behavior is fraud-like.

wow.. thats telling. 

[ravishingravi]

Its done. He is out. Pujara too maybe.

His slump, away from home, really only started in 2017/18 & since then he played every away series! He couldn't have played Ranji in that time so the guy on twitter should check his "facts" though he is finished now, that's a separate matter entirely.

There is no way he would be dropped from playing XI if he is selected, so selectors have to grow a pair and drop him after his atrocious performance...Look at aussie selectors, they dropped Harris when he scored at an average of 47 in last two tests..They need drop Mayank and Pujara too..

[SandeepMotta]

Rahane getting selected again would be a kick in the face of every Indian cricket fan.

Count's replacements are not ready yet...so he might get a longer rope.

 

Rahane's career is over considering Vihari/Iyer is there to replace him. Though I felt he got an unplayable ball today but he is done.

Now this has to be the end.

No more of "he is batting well in nets".

"Batting well in the nets" is the goto word from Azharuddin days to Ganguly days to Rahane this day

[asterix]

Probably be dropped for a match or two and then he’ll be back…

[Vijy]

he will be "rested" for a series (or match), and then waltz his way back in. kohli & rahane doing the waltz for evah
