England vs India, 2018: 5 milestone that Indian players could achieve in the Test series

#4 Ajinkya Rahane closing in on 3000 Test runs

Ajinkya Rahane, the right-handed batsman from Maharashtra, has been a central figure in India's Test team for quite a time now. The vice-captain of the Indian Test team has been the go-to-go man at the overseas tours.

Rahane's practical intelligence, equilibrium at the crease, and his compact technique helps him churn out runs at will. He possesses an enunciated forward movement and a front-on stance which has been conducive in making him a stable short-ball player - an added skill that most of his peers lack.

The Mumbaikar is just short of a milestone in Test cricket. He is just 107 short of the 3000-run mark in Test cricket. Amassing these runs, Rahane will become the 22nd Indian to score 3000 or more runs in Test cricket.
