What will be Ajinkya Rahane's Role now?

Ajinkya Rahane - The Back up opener or the No.4
Rahane : The long-standing fringe player?

Rahane, who is considered to be one of the best batsmen in the Test team for India, has always been fighting for his place in the ODI team.

Despite phenomenal consistency at No.4 in the previous tour, India have tagged him as a reserve opener, and are searching for a No.4 in the likes of Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey and others. While he may not be able to go at a strike rate of 100, but he could be the best choice if you expect your No.4 batsman to stabilize the innings, and not throw his wicket away.
