India Today
Cheteshwar Pujara has backed stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane ahead of the first Test against New Zealand, saying that the Mumbai batsman is a great player and is just one inning away from getting his rhythm back.
India's Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara is confident that 'great player' Ajinkya Rahane is just one innings away from getting his rhythm back and the stand-in skipper will score runs in the upcoming Test against New Zealand. Pujara, who has also had an ordinary year with the bat by his own standards, will be Rahane's deputy in the first game.
Rahane has been struggling for runs in red-ball cricket this year, averaging just over 19 in 11 Tests, and will be looking to regain his touch before leading out the Indian team in the series-opener against the World Test Champions on November 25.
