10 Best batting knocks of the year 2015

6. Ajinkya Rahane – 127 v South Africa:

Ajinkya Rahane is a trustworthy batsman and has scored runs everywhere around the world, except India. And, this fact became a reason for the critics to point out their fingers at him. The Test series against South Africa was an opportunity for him to prove the critics wrong. But, he was struggling to score runs here as well, managing just 39 runs after three Tests. But, Rahane made most of the last opportunity he had in the series. On a tricky surface when other batsmen from both the teams were struggling, he batted defiantly and hit centuries in both the innings of the match. In the first innings, he made 127 and played the anchor’s role while in the second innings he made a 100 not out and guided India in the chase.
