The former opener said Rahane has simply been a ‘disappointment’ in this series, with his tally of just 95 runs after three Tests. Wasim Jaffer argued that the vice-captain needs to rectify his tendency to get out softly while also scoring some runs in the next two Tests if he gets a chance.
Wasim Jaffer said in a video on his YouTube channel:
Although the chances of Ajinkya Rahane getting dropped at the Oval are slim at the moment, if India decide to go ahead with this option, Hanuma Vihari is most likely to replace him. Vihari is more experienced than any other batters on the bench and also provides the team an extra part-time bowling option.
Cheteshwar Pujara should bat in the same way in the future: Wasim Jaffer
Wasim Jaffer lauded the contributions of Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara in the last Test. He remarked that Pujara should look to bat in a similar sanguine way in the future as well.
The fourth and penultimate Test will kickstart at 3:30 PM IST at the Oval. The pitch is expected to be bouncy and seam-friendly at the start and then progressively favor spin as the game goes on.
