Remember that Kohli had chosen to play saha instead of Pant in test 1, which we lost. He wouldn't have dropped Saha for sure and Pant played key roles in all the remaining tests

Shastri and Kohli were very rigid no wonder they struggled in key games in ICC events as well.

 

Tactically extremely daft despite having the resources to do well

Only retired from international cricket.

 

Seems rather pointless to make such a statement now when last played in July 2023.

 

Will still be around lighting up IPL with run a ball innings 

All cricket...

 

PS: don't be so cynical as to make fun of someone who delivered series win against the strongest Aussie team in the recent years

[bowl_out]

Will always be remembered for his Lords 100 and Gabba win as captain

[KV244]

Rahane made me believe that India will not get loose to Australia for atleast 100 years.

Are the stars aligning for a coaching gig with Team India? @vvvslaxman @Gollum

Not anytime soon given that some of the members played with him.

As per rule even Ashwin cannot apply for a chief selector job by 2029

Ashwin won't anyway. I think Ashwin will be more suitable for specialist coach like bowling which is where his strength lies. He adds a lot more technical value, strategy value.

Ashwin has love for trundlers and csk players. He hyped kamboj to moon. I prefer him to become coach rather then selector

I will always remember him for playing that pull shot against peak Mitchell Johnson at the MCG during the 2014 test series. The ground reverberated and that shot was strongly imprinted in my mind even after all these years. Happy retirement Jinks.

Best captain we never had. Kinda like Warne for Aus

 

Also a terrific fielder. Very reliable in slips.

 

Under achieved with the bat given his ability. 

[Insidious]

Aesthetic batsman, safe fielder, legendary test captain.

One of the greatest pull shot player India ever produced. Whole career is littered with soft dismissals

 

One of those batsman whom I have never seen luck going his way, Lol. Always found soft ways to get out and was average against spin which lead to his low average.

[Laaloo]

Decent career but it's a travesty his average is so low. If it wasnt for Mumbai lobby he would never have gotten these many chances.

Also him being a good player in SENA played a part..

[Forever Indian]

His Home average is 35 and away average is 40, Lol.

 

This was from an article in 2019: "Ajinkya Rahane is a modern Indian batsman who has found the going easy when travelling - 34.6 at home v 44.8 away."

safe fielder,

Great point. I think he was more than a safe fielder; he was quite brilliant.
