#1. Ajinkya Rahane
Arguably, the most technically sound test batsman in India at the moment is Ajinkya Rahane. The Mumbai born is one Indian batsman who has scored runs all around the world. Ajinkya Rahane has the technique and skills required to be the glue of the Indian middle order. The last time India toured England, Ajinkya scored a hundred of the highest quality at Lords, leading his team to their only win of the series. He was probably the most suited batsman on that tour for India and is probably the leader of the indian batting lineup yet again in English conditions.
However, his performances with the bat in a few recent series has not been up to the mark. Having said that, Ajinkya Rahane is too good a batsman to not rectify that blip and find his feet again in quicktime. The Indian team would be hoping for big runs off their vice-captain's willow.
