5 Indian players who can trouble Sri Lanka in the test series

<p>

#5 Ajinkya Rahane

<p>

The vice-captain of the Indian test cricket team can be a potential threat for the visiting team in the upcoming test series. His subtle and steady batting has been a key for his success in the longer format of the game.

From January 2016 till date, at an average of 51.73 in 18 matches, Rahane has scored 1190 runs, including three hundreds and five fifties, with a highest score of 188, which he scored against New Zealand at Indore. His last hundred came against SL in Colombo, where he scored a magnificent 132 runs and ensured his team’s victory.

His ability to stay at the crease for longer duration can be a challenge for the Sri Lankans. Rahane is currently ranking number 9 in the ICC Test batsman rankings.
