3 reasons why this West Indies tour is good for India

#1 Helps Ajinkya Rahane regain his confidence

Rahane needs to be at his very best if India are to beat Australia

Rahane has been a pale shadow of what he used to be back in 2014. This version of Rahane lacks confidence and is insecure at the crease. Rahane is the best number 5 player that India has had in years and it's his job to hold the sticks together while others fall.

An insecure Rahane does no good to anyone. This insecurity might be attributed to the constant chopping and changing of the playing eleven. I am hoping that the England tour gave some suitable lessons to the team selection strategies of team India. Constant changing of the playing eleven causes the players to play with a fear of failure and not their original game.

Should Rahane get going in the second Test against West Indies, his confidence and morale will be boosted which might just help India clinch the series Down Under.
