Can the real Ajinkya Rahane please stand up at Lord's?

However, there was a rare blip in that comparison in the first Test, when he made 15 and 2 in the two innings of the game.
Rahane's role in the side is vital as he and Kohli are expected to carry the burden in the middle-order and hopefully, the batsman we know turns up at Lord's, a ground he will have fond memories of due to his century here, four years ago against the same opposition.
