Ranji Trophy 2024: Ajinkya Rahane’s bat has become rusty, now the batsman will have to retire at any cost.
Rahane has scored only one half-century in the ongoing Ranji Trophy season. Ajinkya Rahane The second semi-final of the current season of Ranji Trophy is being played between Mumbai and Tamil Nadu. Currently, Mumbai team is batting in the match. Mumbai batsmen have proved to be a flop in this match. From top order to middle order, all the batsmen could not do anything special with the bat. Mumbai captain Rahane, for whom this match was considered very important for his career, himself got out cheaply. After seeing Rahane’s performance in this Ranji season, his return to Team India seems quite difficult. Actually, Rahane was dropped from the Indian Test team due to poor form, he played his last Test for Team India against West Indies in July last year. There was still some hope of his comeback after performing in the Ranji Trophy, but it seems to be slowly fading away now. Ajinkya Rahane is failing with the bat in the current season of Ranji Trophy. There is rust on Rahane’s bat even in Ranji Trophy. In the 11 innings played so far, he has been able to cross the 50-run mark only once, while he has not been able to even touch the double figures 7 times. In such a situation, his return to Team India now seems impossible. Actually, in the absence of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, there is currently no experienced batsman in the middle order of Team India. After the Test series against England, India has to play home Test series against New Zealand and Bangladesh. After this the Indian team will go on Australia tour. In such a situation, if Ajinkya Rahane had been in good form then Rahane’s name could have been considered. Since there are no runs in his account now, the selectors will insist on considering some other player in his place. current ranji Talking about Rahane’s performance in the season, his scores in all the matches were – 0, 0, 16, 8, 9, 1, 56*, 22, 3,0, 19. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how much they are able to score in the second innings of the semi-final match.
