SK_IH Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I remember Dhoni had similar numbers in Test matches & was regarded as an average Test batsman even though he was a wicket keeper bat. And here we have this phoney regarded as one of the pillars Indian test middle order, shame on Indian cricket for condoning this level of mediocrity.

zen Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I would not say worst investment as he had a good start to his career but should have been replaced by now as he is more like a 1 good inning per series batsman. Link to comment
Gollum Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Though all 3 senior MO batsmen are out of sorts, never compare Rahane with Kohli and Pujara. Miracle that he has been allowed to play almost 80 tests. AuxiliA, zen, express bowling and 2 others 5 Link to comment

As you said Dhoni had additional responsibility (keeping, captaincy). Still was a gun test batsman in SC, Rahane can't even bat at home. And look at Rahane's white ball numbers, they even tried to push him in ODI team after 2017 CT failure, disgraceful !!!!! Mediocre in all aspects. But since he is sucking right now in tests, this thread. <40 avg for a non-opener, are you kidding me? Edited September 2, 2021 by Gollum SK_IH 1 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Rahane pujara both have relied on one aspect of conditions Pujara- Home Rahane- overseas For rahane it was always going to be tough coz ull travel overseas after 4-4 yrs in every country so his strong area also became inconsistent and his weak are just kept getting more inconsistent. These 2 didnt even have white ball to fall back on for form Rohit will soon have same issues- he scores heavy at home but doesnt convert overseas. All it ll take is 1-2 bad series and ur avg will go for a toss and the minute ur home runs dry up its danger which is now the case with pujara Thats why finding batsman for all condition is very important. Also high time we shud stop making pitches like last england series at home coz we are doing our batsman a great harm. Edited September 2, 2021 by Ankit_sharma03 Cricspin 1 Link to comment

He settled these 3 before going and kohli will play musical chairs when new batch comes sorak, prashan, New guy and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment

Like how aussies team of 2000s or SA team or any good team had in past - instead of finding players for all coditions, find set of 7-8 batsmen of whom 3 are good in a particular condition.

Ankit_sharma03 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 one thing thats worst about rahane is his dismissals - its not that he has lost reflexes or something or developed some chinks ...............no Its same old throwing wkts, being loose, being tentative he just hasnt gotten over this, this is lack of progress in a player and his game against spin kept getting worst. Ever since he has been dropped from white ball format he cant even give excuse of not getting practice at home Link to comment

Ye india hai yaha aaj tak TM ko umesh ka diff nahin samjh aaya Dhawan ka samjh aate aate 2 cycle nikal gye IF mayank pile on runs at home and gets dropped overseas in next game , TM will be trolled . U can treat bowlers like ashwin differently but not batsman here Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 What a massively disappointing career. A decade back, he was piling on the runs in domestic circuit and for India A. IIRC he had almost 5000 FC runs @67 when he came into the team as the fab 4 faded away. Promised so much initially but then faded away after a few good years. Not sure where it went wrong. Could have been the perfect captain for us after 2019 replacing clown. Should be his last test. I will still have respect for him for our biggest ever test series win. Deserved to continue as te full time captain vs England at home and beyond, who knows how things would have panned out then. But time is up now. prashan 1 Link to comment
