#3 It's time for Rahane to make a comeback

Rahane needs to come good sooner or later for a seat in the trip to England
Rahane needs to come good sooner or later for a seat in the trip to England

Rahane has been out for long and the conditions are ripe for his comeback. Rahane has been lacking confidence and some runs against a weak West Indian team will do a world of good for Rahane. Rahane is a very reliable batsman and a good player who can stabilize the innings in alien conditions.

If there is ever a possibility of playing Rohit Sharma at no. 4 and opening with Rahane, it would pay dividends. Rahane provides that sort of flexibility to the team. His experience is also a boon for this relatively young team and that would help groom the youngsters. His calm presence at the crease would help him play the role of a stabiliser, letting Dhoni play his natural attacking game when the time comes. Dhoni the finisher is something that this Indian team is dearly missing.
