Ajinkya Rahane has been out of the national side for the shorter format of the game due to his consistent failures to score runs at a quick rate. Rahane, by performing well in the Deodhar trophy, made a return to his classic form.
Ajinkya scored the 190 runs in 3 matches. Scoring runs at the average of 95, Rahane was just short of 9 runs from becoming the leading run scorer of the tournament. He remained the main pillar for his side in the final match as he scored crucial 144 runs at the final stage. His runs helped his side in setting the target of 353 which seemed way too high for the opposition.
Rahane became the first batsman to score runs above the average of 90 in the Deodhar trophy.
