NEW DELHI: There is a perception that Ajinkya Rahane is an out and out Test cricketer only. That viewpoint has gained traction over the years, with Rahane losing his spot in the Indian limited overs sides. He hasn't played an ODI since February 2018 and a T20I since August 2016.
But Rahane has been putting in the hard yards in domestic limited overs cricket. He sent the bowlers to the cleaners in the last edition of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament. Rahane was the highest run-getter for Mumbai and third-highest overall, scoring 286 runs in just 5 outings at an average of 57.20. He also had the joint-most number of half-centuries in the tournament - four and recorded the highest partnership of 151 runs with Prithvi Shaw (against Baroda) in the tournament.
