The Subcontinent Giants - Best current Asian Test XI

3. Ajinkya Rahane (India):

In Ajinkya Rahane the Indian Test team has found a batsman who has this special inclination of delivering at the toughest of times in the most testing situations.

He has emerged as one of India’s most consistent run-getters in the longest format and has scored centuries in Australia, England, New Zealand and most recently in West Indies.

Rahane like his guru Rahul Dravid is the most reliable batsman in the unit and has the right combination of determination, technique, solidity and class to perform against the best of the bowling attacks in conditions that favor them.
