Lowest Test batting averages in the last 5 years (Min 2K runs)
— India Fantasy (@india_fantasy) November 23, 2021
J Bairstow 28.11
K Brathwaite 28.90
N Dickwella 33.80
AJINKYA RAHANE 34.02*
It should be now or never for Rahane in the #INDvNZ test series.
I want someone to ask @GautamGambhir, who has reportedly mentioned "Rahane is fortunate to still be in the Test team", if he'd say the same about Virat Kohli too, who, as someone reminded me today, hasn't scored an international 100 in two years! Rahane a soft target?

If you are wondering why questions are being raised on Ajinkya Rahane's place in India's Test side and not Virat Kohli's, then let me tell you that Rahane has been in pretty mediocre form for about five years now. It's not a recent thing with Rahane. But Kohli's is!
(1/2)

The thing that infuriates me the most is Rahane supporters not even acknowledging there's something wrong with his form over the years. Blame everything Kohli, media, conspiracy but never the actual player himself, hadd hai bhai, unki maano toh asli Steve Smith yhi Rahane hai.

5.Ajinkya Rahane
HOME: 39.28
AWAY: 45.16
Ajinkya Rahane has emerged as the backbone of India’s Test batting in recent years. While Rahane’s home struggles are unfathomable as per his standards, his overseas records regard him as one of the better players of pace bowling
