Day 1 of the first Test match between India and South Africa did not start well for the Indian cricket squad; the only player to score a half-century was KL Rahul. If it weren't for Rahul's hard-hitting blow, India might not have even scored 200 runs. The Indian cricket icon Sunil Gavaskar said that the squad needed someone like Ajinkya Rahane in the middle after witnessing the touring batting unit's dismal performance on Day 1 of the Centurion Test.
The Indian cricket team’s opening day of the first Test match between South Africa and India did not go well; KL Rahul was the only player to reach fifty runs. India might not have even reached 200 runs if it weren’t for Rahul’s sharp blow. The legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar stated that after seeing the touring batting unit’s appalling performance on Day 1 of the Centurion Test, the team needed someone in the middle like Ajinkya Rahane. Gavaskar brought up Rahane’s exploits in Johannesburg five years ago, emphasizing how the veteran batsman handled the difficult pitch where other batters looked to crumple.
One of India’s most dependable players on the international scene is still Rahane. Nevertheless, during the course of the preceding several years, he was dropped from the Indian Test team. Rahane did make a comeback to the team for the 2023 World Test Championship final, despite enjoying an incredible Indian Premier League 2023 season with the Chennai Super Kings. He was left out of the team that was revealed for the tour of South Africa, though. Rahane still has it in him to play well for the Whites, but the selectors seem dedicated to giving younger players a chance in an attempt to assemble a team for the future.
