Rahane's remarkable run
As the captain and the in-form all eyes are undeniably on Virat Kohli, every time India come out to bat, but under the radar, Ajinkya Rahane has managed to create a niche for himself in the side. Arguably the most technically gifted batsman in the side, Rahane once again did what he does best, in the first innings, scoring runs.
His century, which was his seventh in his Test career was his first in West Indies, which is the sixth different country that he has scored. With that hundred, he now has a century in three of his last four Test innings and improved his already impressive overseas record as a batsman.
Having scored a ninety-plus score in every country that he has played in and scoring a ninety in eight consecutive series starting from India's tour of South Africa in 2013/14, his numbers overseas continue to look incredible. While some might question the pace at which he got to his hundred, the fact that he accelerated soon afterwards merely implies that he wasn't asked to score at any particular pace before it and hence took his own time, thinking that was what the team wanted.
