Ajinkya Rahane’s absence from the Mumbai Test, according to Dinesh Karthik, will “relieve pressure” on the batters.

Ajinkya Rahane’s absence exclusion from the Indian selection for the Mumbai Test, according to Dinesh Karthik, will relieve some of the strain on him.

With Ajinkya Rahane‘s bat in poor form, speculation is widespread that his position in Team India’s playing XI for the second and final Test against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai could be jeopardized. Rahane continued his bad form this year with scores of 35 and 4 in the drawn first test in Kanpur. In 2021, the 33-year-old batter has an appalling 19.6 batting average. Rahane’s exclusion from the Mumbai Test, according to Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik, will relieve some of the strain on him.

Ajinkya Rahane’s absence: “With Shreyas Iyer coming in and performing so well, I believe the pressure would be on Rahane, and he may be dropped.

This happened on a South African trip, when Rahane was benched for a game before returning. It won’t hurt if Rahane is benched for a game “In an interview with Cricbuzz, Karthik stated.

“Iyer has literally taken India to safe zone in this Test on his own. He’s done really well. And It’s not like Rahane has not been among the runs in 1-2 Tests. It has been going on for a long time now. It will ease some of the pressure on him,” he added.

“I believe (Cheteshwar) Pujara has some of the same baggage. In a long time, he hasn’t had a hundred. He, too, has been in the mid-20s since the start of 2020. These are two players that have set extremely high expectations for themselves. They’d be aware that their performance had fallen short of expectations.”
