India's No. 4 position woe is a well-known fact and Ajinkya Rahane was once considered as the solution by one and all. Captain Kohi also went on to say before South Africa's tour that Rahane is well suited for the conditions, but, since then Rahane has found himself out of the limited-overs squad and is facing tough competition from the likes of KL Rahul (most likely candidate to make it through) & Shreyas Iyer.

Even though Rahane has played quite well at No. 4 position, KL Rahul's IPL exploits and flamboyancy in his stroke-play might get him the nod before Rahane.

Rahane has played 7 innings since 2016 at No. 4 spot having scored 279 runs at an average of 46.50 and a strike rate of 88.01.
