10 Active Indian cricketers who are not in contention for 2020 T20 World Cup squad

Ajinkya Rahane

The former Indian T20I captain, Ajinkya Rahane has lost his place in the Indian T20I team because of his slow strike rate. The fans and the critics believe that Rahane is too slow to play for India in the shortest format of the game.

His alternatives, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul play at a much better strike rate besides they can hit big shots as well. Thus, the team dropped Rahane and he has never returned to the T20I team since 2016.

Talking about his individual numbers in T20 internationals, Rahane had played 20 matches for India, scoring 375 runs at an under-par average of 20.83. His strike rate was below 115 thus, there is no reason to keep him in the Indian T20I team.
