5 Indians who can revive their ODI careers through IPL 2019

#4 Ajinkya Rahane

Rahane was one of India's leading run-scorers at World Cup 2015

One of the better technically sound batsman in Indian cricket, the Indian Test vice-captain lost his place in the white-ball format pertaining to a series of constant failures. Rahane, who was viewed as a backup opener for a very long time, couldn't break into the XI after the formidable pair of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan made that spot their own.

However, when he got his opportunity in the middle-order, he failed to grab upon the chances and was shown the way out of the ODI setup. With his ODI career at crossroads, Rahane will see the upcoming IPL season as a means to force changes and make it a fruitful outing for himself.

Being the skipper of Rajasthan Royals, the Mumbaikar would love to spring life back to his ODI career with loads of runs for his franchise to earn back the lost respect and the trust to be a regular feature in India's ODI squad.
