Ajinkya Rahane

Well, well well! Yesterday’s match in India vs England series was fantastic. Team India has done extremely well even in a tense situation. Yes, Head coach Ravi Shastri tested positive for COVID-19 and everyone was super worried. Despite that, India vs England fourth test match continued on Day 4. Unfortunately, middle-order batsman Ajinkya Rahane and his performance seem to worry fans!

India batting coach Vikram Rathour was present in the dressing room. The support staff is also quarantined as a precautionary measure.

Now what most people are speculating is the middle-order batsman for Team India. Clearing the air on that Vikram Rathour shares his insights.

He mentioned that Ajinkya Rahane has to be backed by the management. He will come good in the next match, saying that the time has not come yet to worry about his form and he is just going through a tough phase.

The Indian middle order, especially vice-captain Rahane, hasn’t been firing, but Vikram Rathour said there is no reason to worry.

The batting coach also talks about how the players are at the crease for a long time. There will be phases, where players will not get runs, and that is the time as a team we need to back them and support them as much as we can. Coach shared this during a virtual press conference.

We hope Ajinkya Rahane gets to a fiery start and scores for Team India. Meanwhile, today we will get to witness an exciting game of cricket. Day 5 of India vs England is set to begin at 3.30 pm IST. Stay tuned!
