Ajinkya Rahane is the best candidate to bat in the middle order for India Test team . He has been in good form lately and deserves the chance to become the Vice- captain of Team India. The batsman from Mumbai made his Test debut in 2013 and has performed consistently. He has a sound technique and hence the best candidate to lead the Test side alongside his captain Virat Kohli. He was appointed as Team India’s Vice Captain in Tests. Rahane thinks it is a new challange and responsibility for him.
“t’s a new challenge and a new responsibility for me. I love facing challenges and taking up new responsibility. I’m looking forward to the West Indies series. And with Virat Kohli and the kind of form he is in right now, I’m he and the team will do well in the West Indies,” said Rahane.
Rahane wants to adapt to the conditions quickly. As a vice-captain he will look forward in this areas. “I think it is important to adapt to the conditions quickly. As soon as we get there, I think we will have a practice game, so it’s important to adjust to the conditions and prepare ahead of the series. That has been my key so far,” he told.
Rahane believes playing Test matches in West Indies is different challange. “See, I think, every tour has a different challenge. Every tour is equally important and it’s important to prepare well before each and every series. I think once we go there, how we adapt to the conditions, the wickets and the weather – that will be the key for us. We will discuss (team set-up) once we land in the West Indies. It’s good to have competition in our team. We have been doing really well in Test cricket. As a young unit, we are enjoying each others’ success and we are playing for the team,” he added.
