India vs West Indies 2016: Combined XI

#5 Ajinkya Rahane

At No.5 comes the man, who will certainly take you through, if there is a crisis, Ajinkya Rahane. His temperament is a class apart and is similar to that of Rahul Dravid. He rarely comes in the limelight and goes about his job in a simple and professional manner.

He is steady at the crease and can play strokes all round the park. His greatest ever century came at the Mecca of cricket, The Lords when he tormented the English bowlers in a green pitch where all the other batsman struggled.
