India vs South Africa, 2015 Test Series - Player battles

Ajinkya Rahane vs Faf du Plessis:

Ajinkya Rahane and Faf du Plessis aren’t only classical players but also kind ones with calm nature. Rahane has a decent success everywhere he played, however, he failed to be consistent.  He would like to keep going with some good scores in this series along with adjusting himself to wherever the team wants to play him.

Faf du Plessis, on the other hand, is capable of batting dead slow and shift the gears at the same time. With the form he was during the ODI series, he might turn a major threat for opposition handling the middle and lower order.

Ajinkya Rahane:

Mat – 22, Inns – 33, Nos – 4, Runs – 1495, Best – 137, Avg – 51.55, S/R – 42.05, 50s – 7, 100s – 4.

Faf du Plessis:

Mat – 33, Inns – 58, Nos – 0, Runs – 2420, Best – 167, Avg – 41.72, S/R – 47.34, 50s – 11, 100s – 6.
