India vs West Indies 2016: India Probable Playing XI

5) Ajinkya Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane will be crucial in the middle order

The 28 year old from Maharashtra is the perfect man to have in the middle order, just the man you want when the team is in trouble to step up and put up a fight. He’s had an impressive start to his Test career, scoring a 100 in each of the innings in his last Test. He also had a whale of a time in Australia and enjoyed relative success in England. He will be key with his ability to read the game and adapt his style according to the situation. Ajinkya Rahane, shining under the radar at #5.
