SA vs IND: Ajinkya Rahane has played some useful knocks, needs to convert starts, says Vikram Rathour

South Africa vs India: Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed for nine runs on Tuesday on the first day of the third Test as the visitors put up a total of 223.

Ajinkya Rahane is trying to convert the starts he is getting into big centuries and the Indian team management is hoping that he will be successful, batting coach Vikram Rathour has said. Rahane fell for nine runs on the first day of the third Test against South Africa in Cape Town on Tuesday.

"No specific numbers are being discussed (about Rahane). He is trying his best and he looks really good in the nets. He has played some useful knocks in this series as well," Rathour told reporters after the day's play on Tuesday.
