Should be the number 1 choice

Rahane’s white ball career has not taken off when compared to his red-ball credentials and this is one case which cannot be explained. He has all the strokes in the book and also has the power game to be successful but for some reason, he has not established himself as one of the mainstays in the Indian ODI team.

However, he is once again looking in prime form in the IPL and owing to his tight technique he could be the number 1 choice for the selectors to partner his Mumbai pal Rohit Sharma in England.

With the ball expected to seam and swing around, Rahane could be a perfect candidate to blunt the new ball and along with Rohit can be a potent combination at the top of the order. Also, he is a safe catcher and be the slip fielder for India.
