BENGALURU: Red-ball specialists endure unidimensional careers, sometimes even taking the Indian Premier League route to make their way back to the Indian team. A classic case is 35-year-old Ajinkya Rahane, who was recalled after more than a year-and-half later, his Ranji scores and IPL exploits helping his cause.
On the other hand, the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara, Hanuma Vihari and Abhimanyu Easwaran continue to toil on the domestic circuit or sign up for county stints.
