#2 Ajinkya Rahane in for Rohit Sharma

India Training Session

Rahane’s exclusion in the first Test came as a shock to cricket pundits and fans. Despite his current slump in form, Rahane definitely deserves a place in the side. He has the best overseas average among the current lot of Indian batsmen.

By giving Rohit a nod ahead of Rahane, the team management has increased trouble for itself. Now dropping Rohit after failure in just one match may be unfair to him. However, Rahane has to be included in the side anyhow.
