One of the finest Test batmsne in the world now....

Only Joe Root and Steven smith are ahead of him ( in terms of quality)

[Tibarn]

World's best 

[Ankit_sharma03]

Easily our best batsman right now, how i wish he could bat up at 3. 

[-Robin-]

Congrats to Rahane 

 

He is definitely best batsman in Indian test team. 

[express bowling]

I really appreciate the fact that Rahane can score a  century in an innings when he is having difficulty judging the bounce of the ball and is having a couple of off-days.  That shows the mentality to fight on and grit.

[PBN]

Another legend in the making.   Avg 50+ as well.  Rahane was one of the most talked about while playing Ranji.  Great to see him translating that success at the int'l stage as well.

[Texan]

Awesome achievement. Trumped all kinds of odds to get here. He is truly our all country player having got runs everywhere we have toured. His calm demeanour hides the gutsy resolve within. Take a bow!

 

[putrevus]

Great knock and achievement by a very understated guy.

He's a good test player but I still get that selfish personal milestone vibe from him. May be I'm wrong but at times he slows down immensely.

Yesterday, he got out trying to accelerate for his team before declaration, while batting 180+.

The way he was struggling and yet, to come out on top shows the class of the player. He should've been groomed as an ODI opener a long time ago. Now that our ODI captain is getting humiliated a series after series, he has no choice but to support players like him instead of mediocre hacks.

He has got out in the 90s too in the past trying to accelerate scoring.

 

[Zero_Unit]

this guy is a beast these days 

[Laaloo]

Another gem from Mumbai. Now only if Rohit Sharma continues that traditions.

[G_B_]

now averaging 50 plus in test cricket.

 

I believe Smith and Root average more than him of current players who have played more than 20 tests and are under 30 years of age. But I have major doubts on Smith in spinning conditions. 

 

On the whole IMO second only to Joe Root. Joe is another batter who will come good in all conditions or has the technique.

You needn't. He's done well, not great but good, in Ind and SL in last tours to these countries.

Looks like you jinxed him a bit.
