Rahane has a good track record in Australia
The right-handed batsman is one of the most crucial pieces of the puzzle to India’s middle order in Test cricket. Rahane, over time, has become a longer format specialist and currently serves as a deputy to Virat Kohli in the Test side. As a deputy, he has also played some crucial knocks, especially in the Tests outside of Asia.

One of the most memorable knocks of the Mumbai batsman came against England at Lord’s. Rahane scored a century which became decisive in India winning the match which is still known to be a historic one for the Indian team. The 30-year old averaged above 55, the last time India were down under with a high score of 147.
Rahane could very well end up as the highest run scorer because of his ability to counter the pace attack of the Australians. The bounce and the pace in the pitches will suit Rahane’s style of play as he is a natural stroke player.
