IND vs AUS: India vs Australia WTC Finals
The selection of Ajinkya Rahane for the upcoming WTC Finals has been the talk of the town ever since it was announced. After a year of being away from the game, Rahane made a successful comeback in IPL 2023 with Chennai Super Kings, who became Champions. India’s head coach Rahul Dravid has expressed his confidence in Rahane’s selection, citing his ability to perform well in overseas.
Rahane’s Selection
Rahane has been the perfect choice for the Indian lower batting order for multiple reasons. The injury of Shreyas Iyer created a vacancy in the team, and Suryakumar’s poor ODI form and Hardik Pandya’s absence from the Test squad made it easier for Rahane to get selected. Furthermore, his impressive performance in IPL 2023 made it a no-brainer for the BCCI selectors to choose him.
Rahane’s Support
Two days prior to the highly anticipated India vs Australia WTC Finals, Dravid has voiced his support for Rahane. He believes that the experienced batter has the potential to make a significant contribution to the team.
Conclusion
Ajinkya Rahane’s selection for the WTC Finals has been met with much enthusiasm. His inspiring IPL season, combined with the support of head coach Rahul Dravid, has given him the opportunity to make a mark in the tournament. It remains to be seen how Rahane will perform in the upcoming match against Australia.
